If you want to try something different, then try MeeGo, at least that makes some sense.
That I was able to test Android in my N900 make me respect the hardware. And actually testing Android there make me respect Maemo.

Yes, there is a big number of Android apps, but most have better alternatives already in Maemo. There are even some things in Maemo that you can't actually find in Android (i.e. fcam, at least the whole thing that it enables). And the multitasking interface, well, i should undestand it better or install addons that simplify that, but i like more Maemo's one.

Having said that, anyway there will be apps that you could want to run, games is an easy pick, at least take native advantage of being played in a touchscreen, with accelerometer that could give better experience than i.e. games in an emulator. And when the phone part gets published/functional, you will be able to share your contacts between maemo and android thru google what will make a matter preference or particular requirement what OS you will be running in a moment or another.
