Android 1.5 and 1.6 have made some good progress in undoing that, but it's still got a little ways to go by the time it's truly as adaptable as it was originally envisioned to be. As is, Android requires a fair amount of custom tweaking to get it up to speed as a production product on anything but a cell phone.

Also, while this isn't actually the fault of the OS, it stands to be mentioned that all of the applications currently available on Android were written to target a phone. Many of those are likely to be written in such a way that they'll run anywhere, but I'm sure there's a fair amount of lazy coding going on where apps won't know what to do when they're missing a data connection, or they won't know that they're supposed to turn off their SMS options when there's no phone hardware present. Obviously, that will work itself out once some non-phones hit the market, but there will likely be some amount of transition time for early adopters when some non-phones finally start hitting the market.]]>Sep 23rd 2009 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/teclast-to-debut-android-powered-pmp-wake-us-up-when-it-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/teclast-to-debut-android-powered-pmp-wake-us-up-when-it-arrives/Sep 23rd 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/teclast-to-debut-android-powered-pmp-wake-us-up-when-it-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/teclast-to-debut-android-powered-pmp-wake-us-up-when-it-arrives/Sep 23rd 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/teclast-to-debut-android-powered-pmp-wake-us-up-when-it-arrives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/teclast-to-debut-android-powered-pmp-wake-us-up-when-it-arrives/Sep 24th 2009 5:07PM
