The document discusses running Android on the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. It provides specifications for the Raspberry Pi Model B, including its 700MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, HDMI and Ethernet ports. It notes that while Android can run on the ARM-based Raspberry Pi, current versions have issues like being unusable, very slow or not publicly released. Development is ongoing to improve Android performance on the Raspberry Pi.

8. Done with RPi
 Rpi is a Debian box;
Well integrated with Debian repositories;
Or alternative ones
http://goo.gl/8R1DC
http://goo.gl/i90B7
It has SSH ;)

9. How to program it ?
 Pi is for Python
 By default the Raspbian has a Py interpreter;
 And GCC ;)
 Don’t forget the I/O pins
Only digital :(

10. Project example
 Sensor network for air quality monitoring
 The Nodes:
 Rpi ver. B
 3G GSM dongle;
 Sensors and DAC dedicated board;
 Server:
 Web-service via REST;
 Storage
 Let your imagination roam ;)

11. What about Android ?
 It has ARM so you could/should run Android on it;
 Actually there are many problems for now:
 Android 4.0: boots, unusable; (CyanogenMOD 9);
 Android 2.3: boots, very slow; (CyanogenMOD 7.2);
 OfficialAndroid 4.0.3 (built by Broadcom): Boots, very fast
with hardware acceleration. Not yet released by Broadcom
!!!
 Ice Cream Sandwich: work in progress;
 Follow updates on
