In the end, I HIGHLY doubt that that will be true. It's what the Android developers want, but do you want to take bets on how long it takes for hackers to expose underlying linux layers to potential developers of native programs?

(as for "no x server" -- it wouldn't be the first time people ran graphical linux apps with direct-to-video-hardware libraries)

I think it will be much cooler if and when android runs alongside maemo rather than instead of maemo.
I agree. I think the ideal for me would be either:

Maemo with Android Extensions/support
or
Ubuntu Mobile/Moblin with Android Extensions/support

depending upon the specific device being discussed.
