I was wondering...Since we already can install NitDroid (Android) on the N900, why not try to port the Dalvik JIT (and maybe other related libraries) to maemo 5?

Many people have been talking about how difficult it could be, because the Dalvik VM depends on lots of stuff that are spread around google libraries and even in Android's version of the Linux Kernel.

However, since Android 2.2 was released as open source, maybe the whole effort is not that impossible. Google claims that they have open sourced even some drivers and hardware support for some devices. It is also possible to use the emulator with all open source pieces...

One idea could be trying to re-implement Android-specific libraries as "simple" delegators, calling Maemo libraries instead, for low level stuff. A bit like Wine does.

So, are there any bold souls out there?

I have began that job and made good progress. I'm now ready to compile in Maemo SDK - at least x86 target...

If this finally runs, it could be the most important hit in Maemo's development.

Altogether it would be superb to get Andoird apps running on normal desktop Linux.

Would be quite cool to be able to run Androidapplications on N900.

In my opinion this would be the only option the get some real attention on Maemo/MeeGo.
