Hi,
I am using processing on my windows system.
I use an iPhone with Touch OSC talking to processing. Processing is communicating with an arduino via an XBEE module.
I am currently looking for some hardware solution so I dont need my laptop to be started everytime. Instead I would like to have a 24/7 running system on which processing is running my sketch.
On my research I found the new Android 4.x mini computers, e.g. this one on ebay:

So would this be working:
Getting one of these devices, create an apk with my processing code (including OSCP5 library), install this apk on this device, connect my FTDI cable to the USB of this device, connect the Android device to my WiFi, communicate to TouchOSD via WiFi and to my arduino via XBee(FTDI).

Would I need a driver for my ftdi cable?
Is the processor fast enough for processing sketches with OSCP5)?
Is it really that simple: create an apk file from the processing sketch which until now worx on my Windows environment?
I do not need any controls so no Android cellphone is needed.
Expecting your opinions
Cheers
