Well currently not much (I believe there is only BT keyboard support /
no virtual keyboard support)
but in the future (assuming Andriod takes off) I think lots of
embedded devices could take advantage from many apps
in the repository that only require connectivity.  Also i imagine the
process of install linux firmwares on devices is educational for
anybody with an old router or other embedded device..
