I am seriously considering of getting the device I was planning to test out the device at their office if/once they organise that. In which case I would work on an android app compatibility layer be it Anbox or something else.

Speaking of Anbox, by default the keyboard is disabled as it is set up for use on a desktop/laptop. This device would not have that issue, making one less thing to fix.
For what it's worth, Anbox is already in the ascii-backports repos which are compatible with Maemo Leste. Bar some PVR video driver issues, we're close to getting it running in Leste. If it turns out that the mainline A5xx Freedreno driver is in a good state (mainline Freedreno is in a much better state than PVR), Anbox should just work out-of-the-box.
