Technically Android is running same SW platform than maemo,
so it won't be difficult to run android and maemo applications
in maemo devices. If i quess, it wont take long until someone
in oss community ports android to N8xx platform.

Well, this is not really correct. While it runs same operating system
(just like ie. your washing machine might be running embedded Linux), it
runs a significantly different SW platform.

That's no problem. Also Clutter run in maemo even it used OpenGl-ES
directly.<br>
It can run in window or in fullscreen.<br>

I don't see any problem on this. We have already Python and Jalimo<br>

Different toolkits are mostly usabitity/ look-and-feel problem.<br>
How to get same look and feel to all of them ?<br>
<br>
I see most problem coming from this IPC model and how<br>
to adapt Android Activity/Intent/Service/Provider model to maemo .<br>
Basically i think that maemo environment can provide Services and
Providers <br>
for Android applications acting as Activities ans Intents.<br>

While making Android run on nXXX is prolly possible (and we'll see it)
integrating android applications inside hildon is going to be rather
hard.

The seamless integration is of course much more work than just quick
and dirty port.<br>
