Do you really need an answer ?

Ok, I'll do it. MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan is an OS and needs to run on a hardware (Nokia N9 or N950). If the device (N9/N950) has the option of multibooting Android 2.3/4.0, this feature will :
- attract more users who sometimes really needs some Android softwares not available on Harmattan (Netflix, etc), so buying a N9 becomes a viable option;
- avoid Harmattan users to buy an Android smartphone to experiment Android OS, Android softwares, Android programming (there is Qt and Python for Android). So the Harmattan users have more money to buy/maintain Harmattan devices;
- afterall increase the N9/N950 user base.

Sorry but I see the "Community Awards" as part of Nokia "Summer'12 Device Program", which has some goals, including motivate the Maemo/MeeGo community and help reducing the list of missing softwares. Therefore more Harmattan activities : more sofwares, more community using Harmattan (including the 4 council members), etc.

Please don't cite Nokia Lumia here as possible prizes, it is nothing related to Maemo/MeeGo/Linux/Qt/decent mobile OS. I refused to participate on Nokia Lumia Device Program some months ago.
