Why?
It’s not the right choice for purpose built handhelds or performance sensitive devices like this. You’ll end up with a half baked android skin and terrible latency issues. If you want to make a good product, you’re much better off building you’re own OS on top of Linux. The remarkable tablets are living proof of this
Well, I'm sure it's good enough by the time they slap their own drivers in there. It's just streaming. I'd imagine literal wifi being the bigger culprit of any slowness. And android is already there so it's easier to build off that than make your own thing, especially when it's doomed to fail anyway 😂
It’s a lot easier to build a bespoke OS than you think! Sony could definitely do it if they cared enough. It’s just one of many reasons it’s doomed to fail lol
Android is an OS on top of Linux lol, and none of what you said is true.
Yes I know what Android is lol. My point is that Android is too bloated for purpose built product like this. Your better off doing it yourself and building only what need.
