Personally, Alien Dalvik is of no interest to me. But, are You aiming this question @ council, or what?

Yes, it's proposal to the council. I think that a lot of N900 users would like to have ability to run Android apps within Maemo. Just look how big is Nitdroid thread.

But, what do they have, that we can't port from desktop linux, for much lower cost, instead paying ridiculous amount of money to Myriad (for no real benefit)?

for me, it's like request, to pay someone for porting/emulating symbian...

OK Estel, you will make a lot of people happy if you could port this app. Personally I don't need it, because I use Gtalk and Skype, but I would be interested in some others (dictionaries with pronunciation etc.).

As long as conflict Oracle vs Google is not resolved anything related to android including Alien Dalvik is a hot potato.

It's closed source, so no dice unless WhatsApp Inc do it. I think we should shun this type of application and promote the use of open protocols. That's the way forward, to prevent such companies from exploiting network externalities. What happens when the whole world is using WhatsApp? They start to bleed you dry, that's what.

if you would like to run Android apps, buy yourself an Android device, maybe?
or install NITDroid, indeed...

we probably have more chances to see Alien Dalvik run on a N900 if NOKIA decides to include it in Harmattan & it's possible to install a H.E. on the N900

OK, here I have one dumb comparison.

I have PC with installed Ubuntu and my cousin likes to play this free game very much, but unfortunately the game is developed just for Windows. I don't have Windows license, nor I like idea about dual booting too much (with NITdroid we can't make phone calls, we can't use GPS, switching between OSes drains battery etc.). So, what is your proposal?

A. Should I buy another PC with Windows license?
B. Should I install Wine and play this game within Ubuntu?

We can just hope.
