If it's Android, it's not in the same class as Maemo.

While Android claims to be 'open' (it's not all that open, compared to Maemo), you still can't go and throw just any existing application at it. People make apps for Android the same way they make apps for S60 or the jPhone... Did anybody say 'fragmentation'?

It may be a competition in terms of marketing and commercial success, yes, but it's no compatition at all when it comes to my money.
