Hello, Android is quickly becoming a full-blown O.S, a desktop replacement, and it needs more low-level abilities to go way beyond one-trick-pony apps.
Today Android lacks of full-scale kernel framework, which sort-of limit what can be done with Android. Namely - Android lacks the ability to write system drivers a.k.a kernel modules. I have described the problem in detail. I would like to hear some comments on Wish #37260. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37260 Some Android developers disagree that there must be a way for kernel modules to exist on Android, citing security issues, but the upside of kernel modules is a *HUGE* one, just like going from HTML-only-apps to native apps. I ask Google to reconsider that decision. I ask community to comment on it.
