Third Year Degree Computer Projects

Well the third year of my degree is round the corner and part of my degree I have to do a computing project.

I'm really unsure what kind of project to do. I'm thinking something to do with Android as there's a huge community revolving around it.

What projects have other people done for their degree?

Also anyone who has done any kind of project with Android, can you recommend any good places to start reading.

What about a grid based computing project via Android apps? That would be pretty cool, I think the average Android phone could crunch some good numbers!

Grid Based?

what exactly is that?

I'm totally new to Android as well, I've never owned a device with it on.

Client-Server programming is an interesting thought.

This year i've got a lot of projects based around client-server, so might consider something along the lines of that. Although still have no idea what kind of thing to do. I have to make a very simplistic download server for one of my projects and that's only for my second year so it would have to be a bit more advanced.
