You would be surprised how difficult it is to get a decent ARM based fanless PC with a stable linux and working JVM. We have been working on it at www.openremote.org and you can find it but it is hard to do and then distribution is a headache. These are part of the reason why we are looking for an android based server (in the wall). Also I think the prices will be go down quickly due to economies of scale. IT then may be a decent server platform. But yeah, I got to weight the difficulty of porting against the joy of an in-wall android. I got to admit that porting is complicated and was full of nasty surprises for me :(. This is not java, the libraries, this is android-java, unfortunately a different beast. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
