>The Raspberry Pi 3 is not hurting for operating system choices. The tiny ARM computer is supported by several Linux distributions and even has a version of Windows 10 IoT core available. Now, it looks like the Pi is about to get official support for one of the most popular operating systems out there: Android. In Google's Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository, a new device tree recently popped up for the Raspberry Pi 3.

why would you want to do this when you can install an actual distro on it without any problems

Literally why would you want this on your pi?

To do things with the android OS of course.

Maybe there are some android apps that would fit into your project, some security camera apps for Android are pretty good but don't really work all that well with a cell phone.

More choice is always good. I'm happy to see another option for the pi.

Android TV could really work on a pi, plus they just killed their player so they're probably working towards and open sourced Android TV so other manufacturers (and pi owners) can use android

Considering android TV needs a buttload of ram, it's unlikely to work very well on a pi at all.

Doesn't the newest have 1gb? How much is a buttload?
