Simple answer: no

It's not a trivial process by any means....

In case you wonder, .ipk == .deb . This is the first out of a long list of similarities between WebOS and Maemo (and also desktop Linux).

Android is too different. This is one of the reasons I despise it.

It is doable, sure, but not in an afternoon.

riiiight...
1. I never tried
2. It's Linux - so i guess there should be source code available. Get the source, try to compile & i guess u will go mad after the 20th missing dependency... But u can do it in principle...
3. http://www.softrecipe.com/System-Uti...rcconvert.html
They say u can convert....
I am on Linux for years & only to think about a tool that let's u convert from 1 package to another on a windows machine makes me shiver.
Btw - .deb is the package u would want for maemo...

I guess it's easier to try find a native debian solution. Maybe in some ubuntu's Netbook repro's. Still that will be *quite* some work if it's not allready here on maemo.

If u don't understand what i'm talking about u will most likely not build the pkg by yourself too soon. By the time u prob. don't need a timetable anymore

BUT - it's Linux & if u wanna learn howto do things like that u sure can!
Maybe start to learn how to compile your first program all by yourself - best on a bigger (faster) machine than the n900 with any Linux.

just curious how do you do that? i don't know much about android so excuse the dumb question.

i undstood android uses java? am i wrong?
if it is java: doesn't java mean you have to write a port to make it run? or is it posible to do some binary compiling from the java?

what you're talking about (running android apps on linux and ultimately maemo) is what this developer is working on.

Very interesting project to keep an eye on.

Android is not GNU/Linux.
Damn, this GNU-prefix now really DOES matter thanks to Google.
