As per the 3-year concept... how long have you been trying to port Android onto the TP2, so far? A successful wrapping of the Android system around CE would allow any WinCE device to have 'droid, not just TP2.

arrrghhh - they don't need more programmers, they need people who can reverse engineer things. As per BT, GPS, Proximity, Ambient, etc, that would have been handled by the CE drivers. You'd need to implement the JNI wrappers in Android for them, though.
I know, I was teasing.

Indeed, people who are skilled at REing are always needed with this type of project - and hard to come by.

I guess I'll go back to what vinceweis said. Put up or shut up - either you help out, actually implement what you're talking about, or lurk and enjoy what the other developers are working very hard on. Your choice, I'm certainly not trying to discourage you from what you're doing - but from this angle and this stage in the game, it frankly seems counter-productive. If you think you can do it, then do it and prove us all wrong .
