Hi Gary, I have read your presentation several times before i posted here :)
I did look at the Brillo OS, unfortunately it is not available for developers yet. My concern with it is that it targets the smart home devices while what we are developing here would have a bit more functionality. So this is the reason that a headless Android seemed like a perfect match, a great framework with lots of goodies that enables quick development using the existing building blocks. I have spent the last week looking for headless Android mode solutions/examples, but it seems like all the examples are from at least two years ago...
