The problem with that is this thing is gonna be very low end and will likely not run shit very well if at all. That's the problem with developing for android vs iOS because with Apple's you know the specs on every machine and what it will and wont do. With droid there are many shitty machines that simply won't run what the next one will run.

It's why developing for android sucks ass and it's normally a after thought to first developing for the iOS. I'm not really a big apple fanboy but if you are in the biz of mobile app or games development it's simply smarter to build for iOS first then if you have a decent seller port it to Android.
