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.

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)

The question is not "Why port the android to n900" The question is "Why not port android to n900?" Do not forget that we are (kind of) linux community.

By the way, it has been already done :P
https://sites.google.com/site/nitdroid/n900-port
because i don't have time and i'm not a dev
but looks promising ! if someone could test it that would be cool !
