Is Android recommended for Atom processor platform?

Hi Geeks,

I am going to develop a handheld device which has an Atom processor. I am thinking of using Android embedded OS for running telecom applications on this device. I have heard from my friends that Android is good for wireless applications. But my device does not need any wireless application. I will need only data (ping, traceroute...), IPTV and VoIP applications to run on this device. So is it advisable to use Android for my device?

+3 A:

Android uses a Linux kernel, and is designed to support Java applications. So perhaps you need to consider whether Linux and Java are suited to your application. You may be better off with a straight Linux kernel.

I am planning to use a cross-compiled linux kernel for atom platform and QT4 for GUI. Besides this I am in search of a good VOIP call monitor and analysis tool for performance testing..... If anybody aware of it please let me know.... Besides this I am thinking is QT is sufficient for running a VLC player on my embedded linux platform... Do I need any other platform like KDE or GNOME for running the VLC? I am going in the right way? Please suggest....

Thanks for a really nice answer.....Presently I am planning to buy a netbook with atom processor and want to port linux to that.. For GUI, I am planning to use QT4. But I am not sure just by porting the QT4 libraries is enought for VLC player to run on an linux machine? I wonder if I need any other libraries to run VLC player on that?
