Is it possible to use an ASI camera on an Android phone?

I want to make an Android app that can use an ASI camera. Does anyone know if this could work out?

You would have to add kernel drivers if missing, plus you would have to have a phone with USB OTG which isn't common for phones. Next the phone would have to support a big SD card to save the data, and also you would have to design a UI that is actually usable on small touch based interface.

It's easier to use x86 Windows tablet or netbook ;)

Depends what's missing. Most will run custom, cut down kernels. If they cut part of the USB subsystem required for such cameras to work then rather no, not on such system. Smaller things should pass, as some UART applications have drivers for some UART chipsets.
