From the article, this is more for integrators, so mostly low level or hardware oriented folks, not generic software development. Anyhow, it's clear Android will grow, and ARM has every reason to help the planned foray into netbook/smartbook/appliance territory - this has very little to do with what Maemo is and does. Also, if Canonical's Dalvik patch thingy becomes mainstream, we can still leverage some Android apps, while Android will not be able to tap into it's Linux heritage. It would also be interesting to see maybe Jambi resurrected as Qt on Android, but I digress...
