In my opinion, the biggest advantage that you get from working with an OS such as Android, as opposed to an individual Linux distribution:
- Applied ecosystem that integrates well
- User Interface Suitable for Small Screens
- Application SDK, which makes application development pretty easy
Disadvantages of using Android IMHO:
- There is no standard libc. This means that you will need to port, get mplayer or something like that to play media content
- You have fewer libraries than you when you use the "regular" Linux distribution
- You can create applications with user interfaces using Java (well, there are other possibilities, but you probably didn’t)
