open or not but what I meant it is a huge job making it work on other platforms than android.

How many high quality apps would one write from scratch in a time needed to port open source Dalvik and getting access to all Android apps in existence?
And then having to do nothing for more Android apps to appear?]
My point is you will neverl ever get full access to all andoid apps or get them working on n900 anyway. So why give endusers false hopes??? Android is using Linuxkernel yes but the rest of the os is far different than maemo it doesnt even use libc and the graphical system is not x11. how do you rewrite this in a good way? I am far from expert in this area but I dont think it just do it. also dalvik probadly is more memory and cpu hungry and as we all know N900 is outdated in today android hw specs.

So instead of dalvik port hint the developers what apps they want from android ported to maemo instead of dreaming of a working dalvik on n900.

I can as I said before understand if endusers want some cool android apps (or even iphone) but as I said better let developer know WHAT to port t instead of bashing about android has xxxx more apps. I mean is that really intresting to now? do people really install all those xxxxx apps?

I dont say the rest of the community/developers agree some will maybe try port dalvik and.

and what did you mean about "Calling people names does not make you a partner for discussion."

what name? cause i said Android fanboys? I heard people call me and other nokia fanboys or payed by Nokia could I care less. I just give my opionion. and fact is maemo forum seems to have alotlpeople here now basing about how bad maemo is and how good android is. so to mee there is alot of android fanboys/girls to ofcourse
