Nice, but i want my router to have an android environment itself, not just to
be controlled by my phone (which i want as well, of course).The proximity sensor for app developers would be fun to play with, for example.

Routers are for most people the only things which: 1) are always on 2) have internet connectivity Which is pretty cool if you need something that is, oh say, a central controller for your home. Put a headless Android in it, allow 3rd party apps, water the lawn with it. Love ensues. This is, I imagine, why Google bought Nest: they want to be that home central controller. The home router is more ubiquitous though, IMHO.Hence: https://on.google.com/hub/Mike-- Hugo hugo () slabnet com: email, xmpp/jabber also on Signal
