Portable Device: Android smartphone (Raspberry Pi; Ouya)

Former Member

Ben,

 

This is a viewer challenge for your show. I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago about this idea. You should build an android smartphone from a raspberry pi or from an ouya.

 

The ouya is based off of android applications, so the whole android idea might work for it. And, there is a version of the android OS that is compatible with the raspberry pi.

 

I hope you keep this idea in mind. Thank you.

  • Well, actually, it probably won't be too big. The Ouya and the Raspberry Pi are single board computers. Ben has done something like this before when he made the raspberry pi game console. Parts can be removed. Of course, a touch screen, a camera and a keyboard are required, but it probably will be no bigger than a Nintendo DS.

     

    I'm not sure about the Ouya, but the Raspberry Pi has a 512 MB ARM processor, so it probably will be about the same as a regular smartphone. And if the Ouya is used, most game consoles have decent running compatibility. It will run just fine.

    It's also a single core at 700 or 900Mhz.  A lot of the processors out there are dual or quad core 1Ghz+.
