Questions: * Is it possible to use the Android as a Linux development platform? * Can I compile POSIX sources on the Android? * For instance, can I download bash, Vim and Python tarballs to an Android device and build?

Apparently there is a port of Vim to Android: http://credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/08/native-vim-for-android.html http://credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/08/native-vim-for-an... Keep in mind though that Android isn't intended to be a Linux distro or even a Posix'ish OS. It's closer to something like DD-WRT. It is it's own, non-unix embedded OS that just happens to use the Linux kernel as it's base (because really, where's the value in writing your own kernel these days?)
