i am not a programmer even not a heavy user of n900 and maemo but i think we dont need android on n900 because maemo is much better in many ways, it is easier and sophisticated and this is charming of maemo..... and we use android just because they have more applications and games thats all and dont forget iphone also the same like android just becasue they have much more applications too and thats it both of android and iphone dont have powerful maemo that we have... and we just need more and more applications and games thats all... but this is just my opinion no more.... so if the great programmes that we have can make the maemo do iphone and android application work on maemo so we all will not need any android and iphone..... but this is my opinion of alittle user called amar.................
