What are the main 2 or 3 advantages Maemo 5 has over Android 1.5?
And vice-versa advantages of Android > Maemo?

Like:
Maemo > Android because of:
* Qt apps, Qt framework for development
* Ovi Maps,
* KDE support and apps
* Debian linux based ports
???

Android > Maemo because:
* Google Maps and Docs
* ???

Maemo is based on Debian. Is Android based on Debian as Maemo is, or is it based on slackware or on what Linux distribution?

Maemo or Android is more open?
Maemo or Android is more Linux compatible?

Nokia said it looked at Android but Maemo is better. It did not say why... finally is about end-users and programmers to love or hate a platform/OS and make it mainstream or forget it... What do you think?

Can anybody give answers or more intrinsic informations? My experience with Linux is limited - I only have a Linux Xandros EEE PC and yes, Xandros is based on Debian like Maemo but it also has OpenOffice and nice FireFox applications...
