These have 800Mhz/1.2Ghz ARM processors and 512MB of RAM and at least 512MBYes, you're describing a low-end Android phone here.
No, plug devices are not phones.
storage. While I'm sure freedom could be achieved with an embedded device and for some use cases would be a preferable platform that isn't one the stated goals of this project.The only problem I see is Android specifics, which won't play nice with the Debian toolchain.
If I am not mistaken, the topic of this mailinglist is the _Debian_ FreedomBox project. Not the Google FreedomBox project or whatever else.
Hardware is Plug devices and software is existing packaged Debian!I encourage anyone to work on whatever hardware and software that fancy their interest - but please treat such as separate from this project.
I do not mean to say that you cannot call your project "Freedom Box" (but possibly Eben has an opinion on your using that term he coined), just that I strongly fear that discussing all sorts of freedom-related projects together here on a single mailinglist does more harm than good.
