    PBP is only for 8 bit Microchip parts.

    You realize that for around twice the cost of a pi you can get an ITX board with around 10 times the power of a pi? Then you will have something that you can actually do things with.

    Norm, I am talking about full motherboards able to run XP or your favorite Linux distro.

    Fan-les cpu setup, add your ram and storage...

    MICRO ATX

    Mini ITX

    I just do not see why, other than the size, any one would even consider a pi. It is worse than a Basic Stamp...Comparably.

    Could it be about portability?

    (know nothing about pi)

    I can also run my Delphi windows apps!
    Good solution.

    Even in the Pi form factor there is a more powerful option that can run Android and should be able to utilize Basic4android.

    I should note that there's also a group working on porting Android to the Pi.
