Put portable pwning power in your pocket with the Pwn Phone
Mobile technology has made it possible for people to do an amazing amount with tablets and smartphones within the workplace—including hacking the living daylights out of the corporate network and other people’s devices.

However, it doesn’t exactly use Google’s vanilla Android.
