[Mep-dev] Tuesday Challenge for 14 April 2009

[Michelle]

I'm interested in reasons *not* to select Android as a baseline OS for MEP stations. 

Here are a few more details:

Android is an open-source operating system primarily intended for cellular phones.

www.android.com

Android scales to systems like MEP, third party development is encouraged, it's supported by a consortium of all sorts of people we've heard of (http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/), and it uses lots of linux-like process protection protocols that would seem to enhance stability and usefulness. People seem interested in developing for Android, and it might help MEP greatly to go in this direction. What do you all think?

I have an image for the TI OMAP from the Embedded Systems Conference, and would love to hear from anyone else pro or con on Android.
