Subject: [Balloon] Android OS on a Balloon3 - responsive screen handling, web browsing, calls/texts and more
Hi

As a free time proof of the capabilities and responsiveness of the Balloon I
decided to port Android OS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Android)
onto a Balloon development board.

Below is a youtube video link showing the results, a Balloon 3 running
Android with a Toppoly 480x640 resistive touchscreen & CUED breakout board
usb (via hub) to keyboard and modem (Siemens MC55i module).

Apologies for the varying light levels & lack of resolution/audio. Note also
the webpages were in the cache from a previous test run, GPRS isn't usually
that quick.
