"We" this, "we" this other thing...
No one's going to do it unless _you_ do. As someone said, "be the we".
On the other hand, this is harder than it sounds; you still have to implement all of Android's classes.

If you don't have the Android application source code then this most likely would not even be worth the effort of trying.
I can only see this being useful if you're an Android developer who may want to target your app on other platforms as well. I could be wrong, though.

Given that you'd be looking at an app that you have the source for anyway it would be more work to write the translations than it would to port most apps by hand - depending on what they do of course.
Sure, you could end up with the tools to make the 2nd or 3rd app easier, but as said above you'd really be looking at implementing a lot of framework some of which won't be possible for Meamo5 (multitouch, gestures, compass etc).
Still, don't be put off from trying it though. I'm sure it would be a great learning exercise.

Probably they paid Myriad for using Alien Dalvik.

WeTab also announced android support in a near software update. Prolly Alien Dalvik too.
It generates for example, objective-c code, and use the normal iphone development tools to compile it as an iphone app.
To run it on maemo/meego we have many options:
1. compile the objective c for maemo
2. compile for palm-pre and use preenv
3. modify the XMLVM to generate c-code and compile for maemo
4. there is always an option to port dalvik VM to maemo
what do you think ?
