There is also no choice of language, you have to use java.
(as for "no x server" -- it wouldn't be the first time people ran graphical linux apps with direct-to-video-hardware libraries)
I think it will be much cooler if and when android runs alongside maemo rather than instead of maemo.
Maemo with Android Extensions/support
or
Ubuntu Mobile/Moblin with Android Extensions/support
depending upon the specific device being discussed.

Hmmm as a programmer with more Java experience than anything else I'd love to be able to run Android on my N810!
But I don't like it to the point where I'd give up the freedom of choosing my OS. I'd rather be able to run Maemo, Android, Ubuntu Mobile, and possibly that Debian ARM port all together
(obviously not all at once)

Totally on board with the alongside thing; but it is possible to write an X11 server in Java, so a hybrid based on Android is just conceivable. (No, I don't think it's good, just possible.)
