Rather than start from the beginning, why not extend Android? It would be FAR more prudent, to create a bridge between the two [traditional and new-age] OSs and fill in the feature gaps missing from Android, rather than start from scratch and hope for traction.

And please don't say that it's not possible.
Agreed.

Someone needs to get the 2.3.4/CM7 source code then tweek it.
Tweeks:
-1280 x 800 support
-mouse cursor support
-App support for current android apps and honeycomb apps (when source is ready)
-remove app pausing (all apps run in the background)
-Apps are made fullscreen
-Or Apps can be stacked side by side (think landscape) = windowing
-UX is designed like a hybrid of the new MeeGo (tablet) UI + Playbook UI + iOS UI ...a true multitasking, fast-functional interface optimized for tablets
-The browser from Chrome OS (ie the full-blown one, not the watered down one)
-Supports the three user buttons (Back/Home/Menu) and their secondary (long press) functions=Close App/List of Running Apps/Search
-Uses three major platforms: C++, QML, Dalvik (Flash10.2 is supported but not a development platform)
... then apply this software to a Tegra2/drivers (since its the most abundant next-gen processor). Imagine if such a beauty got ported to the ASUS Transformer!!
