Chirp works well on my 10" Dell Netbook and Windows XP all on a 7.5 gigabyte solid state hard drive. I picked mine up used for $75. off Ebay. I use a USB mouse and keyboard if I need a little bigger keyboard. Probably a good way to go if you plan on using Chirp in the field.

If what you want is a small footprint computer running CHIRP to carry in a go box try a Raspberry Pi or a Beaglebone Black. Both will fill the bill just fine.

Forgive me for asking, but I searched the last few months of mailing list archives, both on the user and the dev side, without finding a roadmap or references to an Android version.
Are there any plans? If not, what's the best way to contact the developers to discuss? If yes, how can I offer assistance? (testing or coding)
The reason you don't see it discussed here often is because it's in the FAQ.
Some of the technical issues are listed here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/1369
Feel free to discuss a port of Chirp to Android, but realize that none of the GUI code is compatible. The underlying radio clone code should run fine on Android devices with serial ports. If you are an Android developer with some free time, you could make a few people happy by rewriting Chirp for Android.
