Hi there, IMHO the N900 is a geek's stuff for now. Giving it the ability to run android's apps would be a great argument for it: coupling the power of an opensource totally customizable maemo with the marketing power of google could turn it into the definite device! As I first heard of android, I was hopping that it would be as flexible as maemo seems to be. But android devices are still smartphones whereas the n900 is more a pocket pc much more powerfull giving you more freedom. On the other hand, google is building a major actor of the mobile world because of thirds party apps just like the iPhone (without the app store, only fanatic fanboys would have bought an iphone, but even me, who don't like Apple, has an iPhone). So I wish that the work from canonical would be integrated into maemo.
