Android - Just another Maemo virtual machine....(sigh)...(c;






I'd love to be there when some iPhoney shows off his FruitFone to the
little girl....(c;



The trouble with open source is every hacker is gonna steal your OS and run
it on his beagle board:

Just out of curiosity (haven't tried it on an android, but there's lot of
stuff on http://maemo.org for my nokia N800 tablet, any idea if any of that
will work/be ported to the android?)

I doubt it. On the tablet, Android runs FROM Maemo Linux, off one of
the mms cards as storage. Android will be, of course, controlled by the
Sellphone carriers who will hobble and screw it all up, rendering it
useless, like Brew, iphone, Sellphone Symbian....destroyed by greed and
trying to keep users from using bandwidth.
