The port is surely a big task.


But it is not impossible.

The folllowing elements give hope:

There is a project that runs dalviks dex-files on top of java jre.
The kernel for the actual Android is a regular kernel similar to maemo.
There is already little success porting dalvik to ubuntu which is debian which is similar to maemo.
NitDroid works already on maemo hardware and dalvik on maemo could use the libraries on the nitdroid partition.
