Key thing is what is the software support going to be! |

That is true as well.

Interesting. No on-board storage kinda sucks though.

It should be able to run Android or some variants of Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, maybe even Kodi).

Why not both?
Edit: What he said^.

Specs mention debian/KODI as a supported OS  |

Surprisingly H.265 is not mentioned.

Still USB 2.0 though. That's a pain.

Rather wait for the RPI4 than deal with all the possible incompatibilities.
Raspberry PI started this movement. Continued support is important. RPI supports strong integration with the education system teaching programming to many kids.

Agree, unless you're an expert and your use case requires > Pi-HP and <= 2 X Pi-HP, this makes little sense. Raspbian and the other well-supported Pi distros make life so much easier.

If there's enough storage it should be possible to have both operating systems coexist but a bootstrapper is then needed to allow the user to select the OS to launch. This is exactly what I do now with my old HP WebOS tablet. I have it partitioned to allow either booting into WebOS or Android. Must be a warm boot though as it is not possible to hot-swap between OSs. |

Not at the same time (unless virtualised) since a computer run one instance of an OS at the time. I meant that both Android and Linux should be supported as OSes, However if the boot loader is capable of multi boot such as the ones in Windows, MacOS or Linux x86(i.e. Grub, LILO, Syslinux, etc.), you could have different OS in different partitions one the same or different disks. Typically those traditional boot loaders don't work in RPI and similar but there are other similar alternatives and it is often easy enough to switch SD card to boot into another OS. |

Right, that's why I used the disjunctive or.
Outside of running a virtual machine there is no solution I know of that can split the operation of your CPU and controllers simultaneously, ergo, you cannot run both, just one or another.
