Okay to the conversion question the simple answer to convert Android apps to Java is no... Look at it like this, you have a glass of water and would like to convert the water to juice, thats simple right, add the ingredients! Now how do you convert it back to water if you would like that? Virtually impossible, especially if you already cooked the juice.

Dont go and compare Maemo 5 and Android to Win 7 and XP, you could rather compare Maemo 5 and Maemo 4 with Win7 and XP.

Different Linux distors are not canonical versions of each other.
