This looks interesting.

Angry birds on your router?

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

lol... why would you bother?! OpenWRT does everything that Android might be able to do and probably does it better and more efficiently.

I doubt it will bring anything new AND useful, but could potentially be a whole lot more marketable than the other open source router OS's.

Ultimately it could lead to the majority, rather than minority, of routers in the mass-market supporting third party software with enhanced functionality. Or better yet, coming with it out of the box

Yawn.

I'd much prefer an existing Linux based firewall distribution that has a history and is stable. If I want to play Angry birds I use my phone.
