Not really - potential driver hassles (is there graphics acceleration that
Android needs?) and it has no touch screen, which would make it a pain. And
apps which are built for ARM only might not work.

So think of it as a raspberry-pi with an attached screen, and chase one
of those projects for interest sake...


That's probably good advice. It's only 32 bit which would make running
mainstream distros increasingly annoying in future. But it's fine as an
embedded-thing-with-screen.
