In opposite to the OS/2 disaster we've got at Maemo/MeeGo native support for many Linux Libraries, GTK+, Qt and last but not least full Python (PyQt) support!

Many Linux applications are more easier to port to Maemo/MeeGo instead to rewrite them to a JavaVM. (Pingus, OpenDUNE, OpenOffice, Gimp, Widelands, SSH, VNC, all the Emulators for SNES, MegaDrive, Playstation, GameBoy, C64, CPC, Amiga...)

And don't forget the Linux shell with all his scripting capabilities...

...in the end we have the most of the Android applications, and Android has none of ours?
