And while you wait for every other desktop application to be reinvented for your "tablet with keyboard", you could always just use a laptop.<p>Not that this isn't pretty cool, but it does seem like we're coming full circle sometimes. I almost expect that soon one of the tablet manufacturers is going to say "hey, know what'd be great? A <i>fold-out keyboard</i> so you don't have to carry it around separately!"
Would it be possible to load the files in Eclipse (or any editor) via USB, then edit and save them, and have AIDE compile and run it? This would save the hassle of maintaining Eclipse and the Android SDK on you development machine.
This is a useful for playing around with code on a commute or making a tweak to existing code. I don't believe they think people are going to be writing entire large apps with this.<p>I used to use a program called OnboardC on the Palm Vx some 13 years ago that compiled PalmOS programs on-device. It had its uses, as does (say) the ConnectBot ssh client for Android. Sometimes you need to make that quick change on the move.
So one of the interesting projects I've got baking is running Android ICS on a Pandaboard connected to an HDMI monitor, keyboard, and mouse.<p>This looks like a very nice setup for 'banging out' a widget/app that I can use right away. Assuming that someone does an Android port to the Rasberry Pi that would be a good use case there too.
Nice. I'm building one for the iPad <a href="http://worqshop.com" rel="nofollow">http://worqshop.com</a> (sans executing code on the iPad, forbidden by Apple)
First I was interested then I read "tablet" then I read "Ice Cream Sandwich". What about my expen$ive Nexus One paperweight that I just paid off Google?
This is slightly more interesting than a port of gcc to Andriod - but it's still an conventional approach that targets edge case devices in Europe, not handsets in Nairobi's slums.<p>Touchdevelop is the shape of on handset programming.<p><a href="http://www.touchdevelop.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.touchdevelop.com/</a>
Very interesting. Note there is already a cli based Android development environment running on devices called TerminalIDE that uses vim, complete with very useful plugins already installed, as the editor.
