Obviously Solca, bri3d and bdogg64 are all doing this to see if they can, like mountaineers trying to scale Everest.

For me, I want to see a recent, working mainline kernel come to the N8x0.

There are others of you here, however (like me, you're not doing the actual coding), who seem to have another agenda. You seem to want something specific from an Android port, something you feel is lacking from Maemo.

Perhaps you would be better to ask for apps of equivalent functionality to be written / ported for Maemo?

What specifically do you want here?

You make a good point, but my answer is freedom. The N900 is a platform based on software freedom and open source values, we have the possibility of running anything on here, without going to extreme lengths to 'crack' or 'jailbreak' the phone.

Android and Mer are just other options that we can have the freedom to choose from, while I personally believe Maemo is better then Android for the N900 in *many* ways, there are still things that Android does better. And the freedom to choose which you want to use is important. I would love to have a dual/tri boot mode where I could switch off between the three depending on how I'm feeling like dealing with my information that day.

I want the freedom to choose. And I don't think I'm quite alone in that belief.
