There is lots happening in the world of the Raspberry Pi, and this includes getting Android 4.0 to run on it!
This is what Liz posted on the Raspberry Pi blog today:
Naren has been working on a port of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to Raspberry Pi, and as you can see from the screenshots and video below, he’s been making great progress. Hardware-accelerated graphics and video have been up and running smoothly for some time; AudioFlinger support is the only major missing piece at the moment.
This implementation uses a different kernel and VideoCore binary image from the one available on GitHub, which is why we’ve been keeping quiet about it so far. We’re investigating the feasibility of converging the two code lines to produce a single common platform as soon as we can, at which point we hope to release the sources for you to play with.
Looks interesting….

Interesting, I hope it’s as good as the version on the competing APC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Gfo6V9zxE
