Nice, but i want my router to have an android environment itself, not
just to
be controlled by my phone (which i want as well, of course).
The proximity sensor for app developers would be fun to play with, for
example.

IMO, this is the real problem, but there's a real opportunity. Routers
are for most
people the only things which:
1) are always on
2) have internet connectivity
Which is pretty cool if you need something that is, oh say, a central
controller
for your home. Put a headless Android in it, allow 3rd party apps, water the
lawn with it. Love ensues.
This is, I imagine, why Google bought Nest: they want to be that home
central
controller. The home router is more ubiquitous though, IMHO.
