Real-time Android: real possibility, really really hard to do - or just plain impossible?

Bernard Cole

Embedded developers are taking a close look at using the Linux-based Android mobile device platform in real-time deterministic apps. But is it realistic? If so, what will it take? Or is this just another tantalizing but impractical dream?
