Hi, I've been working on a prototype for a project and I'm at the point where I need to start finalizing the hardware. I'm currently using Windows Mobile for this project but I want to move to Android as I feel it may be a better fit, provided I can achieve what I need to achieve.
I'm building a device that might not technically be "mobile". It won't have a phone, or GPS capabilities, or even many of the features found on a phone. It will, however, run on very limited resources and will need the ability to access the internet and run one or two custom built applications. Android seems like the perfect fit as it is able to do these things really well (internet and run applications). My questions are - will I be able to strip out the parts of the platform I do not need without affecting the core functionality. For example, there will be no phone so I would not want the phone functionality. The ultimate goal is to make the OS as light as possible, so removing the uneeded "stuff" is a "must-have". Also - would the kernel be modifiable to the point to get it to communicate with an installed USB port? I assume the answer here is yes, but you never know! Many thanks in advance! -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
