So while it is certanly possible to run android apps on N9 I see no reason why Nokia would invest into buying the technology (if not to shut down the project before it hurts their own interest: WP7).
Sorry, it is a bit more complicated than that. There is some evidence that Alien Dalvik could be violating some of Google's copyrights, and I don't think that Nokia is willing to get in a legal dispute with Google over it. I am sure most of you remember about Palm vs. Apple on iTunes support for the Palm Pre ..
