On the other side, they require expresal approval and a few modifications* from the original app owners, so I believe this won't cause many "trouble".

* "Dalvik is not Android" I said, remember?
But what this means, that when Nokia gets the first Meego phone out, it will then already have many applications available via Alien Dalvik. Someone who has had Android-phone, will more likely and willingly switch to Meego device now, because (s)he can get many (if not most) of the Android-apps with him.

There is always this unknown critical mass of applications so any platform can survive. Having ability to run Android apps in Meego helps to reach this critical mass sooner, or at once now.

It is interesting to see in the video, Adobe Photoshop Android application runs as fast in N900 under Alien Dalvik than in HTC (what model?) under real Dalvik.
