Yep Android brings absolutely ZERO to the RPi, the resources would be better spent by developers on other Linux based Distros...

I'd say the work is better spent on optimising the distro's and apps we already have - and that is, indeed, where the development money is being spent. Quite a lot of it. Wayland/Weston, Scratch, V4L (at first, taken over by Broadcom) etc. All funded by the Foundation.

I've been saying "Mucho" to my Spanish friend a lot more lately. It means a lot to him.
