Would it be possible to stream a video signal into an android device? I understand that the HDMI port it's self is not designed to take input, so I was thinking that the data could be streamed via the USB port. I know that the Apple hardware prohibits this (apple made this decision for some reason) but would it be feasible on android?

You can get USB capture devices that will take HDMI video in and encode it to e.g. H264. You can get Android devices that can USB master. So then it's a matter of drivers. It looks like it's doable if you can choose the device and supply your own kernel: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12334612/analog-video-capture-to-android-phone
