Abelturd: you misundestood (and I don't explain correctly) what I mean by "software", i mean "firmware" in this case, not make software for platform where it's available.

For Android your are wrong, it's not a "full blown OS" but only a layer on top of linux, a graphical layer to be exact. (even if there is some middle layer) and it's not made for anything other that mobile phone. the GUI will not adapt correctly for anything else actually without major rework.

And if Android was an OS that will be able to do everything, why Google is going to release Chrome OS?
