Or you could be speaking completely without any knowledge at all, and I suspect you are. Just because the Linux desktop version is java in no way means that the N900 version is based around java. For starters they would have had to cobble together a running java environment (or included one in the app) Since java + N900 are not good friends at the moment.
Secondly you can see that the app has been "hildonized" though I don't really think that term applies as much as it used to. Navigation through the app follows the standard N900 format.

The video was posted 6 days ago, nowhere in the video does he say its ready for download. I suspect this was a teaser for something that will show up in the app store - should Nokia ever pull their finger out of their *** and fix it for the N900
