Hi,
Well, I've been stymied trying to find 4-5" 4:3 LCD touch panels (I did find a nice one at 5" but have yet to chase down the manufacturer for availability).
Rather than wait, I am begrudgingly looking at a cheap ($50)
7" tablet to advance a bit further towards a real "beta".Tablet runs Android. So, I can either figure out how to root the thing (and then hope I can find docs on the various bits of hardware inside) *or* build an emulation system *under* Android to give me the environment I want.
The latter is less "run-time" efficient but may be a better short-term bet to get further along with testing.
Also, I need a tablet-like device for another application (though 7" is awfully large :< ).
So, how responsive is Android? How rich is the programming model (flat address space? protection domains? VMM? etc.)? What are the *gripes* about it? And, reasons for each "point release" (i.e., are they fixing bugs or fixing "missing features")?
Thx,
