Android Platform

Are there any companies that are developing an Android device that is designed to be wall or panel mounted? I like the operating system and would like to integrate an Android tablet into some automation, but haven't found anything online. My employer would also like to explore some possibilities for industrial applications and a panel mount would work best for them, too.

The Wand board will run Android and is very similar to the raspberry pi. www.wandboard.org

While it is not exactly a wall mounted product, the Arduino ADK (Android Development Kit) is built to interface with the Android platform. I hear that the Raspberry Pi is close to being able to run Android and that might be an interesting alternative.
