It’s a lot easier to build a bespoke OS than you think! Sony could definitely do it if they cared enough. It’s just one of many reasons it’s doomed to fail lol
Yes I know what Android is lol. My point is that Android is too bloated for purpose built product like this. Your better off doing it yourself and building only what need.
It’s not the right choice for purpose built handhelds or performance sensitive devices like this. You’ll end up with a half baked android skin and terrible latency issues. If you want to make a good product, you’re much better off building you’re own OS on top of Linux. The remarkable tablets are living proof of this
