Also putting Android on the n900 would be like putting DOS on a windows 7 box. Why would you replace what is essentially a full Linux install with one that is VERY much limited.
Add to that the fact that android does everything through a JVM (albeit a well tweaked one).
Trust me as a DEV I cannot get off the android platform quick enough. Give me my C any day of the week. Sure it might not be as easy to code in as Java (arguably) but thats why wussies dont use it
Haha, because Android is going to be a popular platform that's more accessible due to the plethora of devices that will be out for it (already many manufacturers have released or are planning on releasing a phone with Android). Thus they would eventually have the dominant marketshare as phones are gradually replaced with Android based phones =P. By having a VM of Android that gives us the best of both worlds. The openness of Maemo and the freedom to do whatever we want, and Android apps.

Heck if we could have an iPhone emulation I'd take that too. =P

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
