python --version
perl --version
gcc --version

...then I edit a "hellow world" C program, compile and run it on the phone.

Can Android do that?

That is one boring ***** demo to the regular phone user and to say they don't have brains is insulting. I've grown out of this phase of needing to edit all aspects of my phone. Maybe because I don't have all the ability myself but have to rely upon others, or maybe because there just isnt enough time in the day.

The only thing that will keep me with Maemo/ Meego is the Davlik virtualisation of android apps.

We need phones to do what we need in the real world. If you need the programming then I guess this is the platform for you. If you need accessibility then something more mainstream is there.

For example, I could use the following things which I can't seem to find out Maemo. Correct me if I'm wrong, Google maps with streetview and Access to trading platform applications
