I know - just stating that it already has been done, so it just means that there is nothing standing in the way of dual boot!

Wouldn't a virtualized android or just enough of dalvik on maemo be a better alternative though? Think like debian-chroot. I think this would be a much better overall experience.

You still have to rework the entire GUI rendering mechanism. Android does not use X so there's that much more integration work. Not nearly as straightforward as Easy Debian is.

cheers for that, yes android renders direct to framebuffer without x being needed so it would be far more work to hack dalvik etc to run above maemo not to mention a huge waste of resources

most certainly 2.1r2 though may start off with donut (1.6) to test things

I would simply like to run some android apps (and maby even widgets) on Maemo . . . . I really like Maemo vs Android I just envy a few of the Apps


(simply is really the wrong term here I know building some sort of compatibility layer between Maemo and Android wouldn't be easy but if it ever happens it would be a truely spectacular thing)
