Hi,<br><br>since Android makes heavy use of Java and OpenGL, there is a problem with the current maemo to support it.<br>While the N8x0 hardware contains a 3D graphics chip and Java acceleration, both are not yet accessible on the maemo platform. But maybe Nokia is silently working on these 2 features... who knows...
<br><br>With Java and OpenGL available, there should be no reason for Google and Nokia not to built an Android compatibility layer for maemo devices. Since Google is already involved in maemo with GoogleTalk and being the default search engine, it wouldn't sound too far-fetched if both companies worked together on Android as well.
<br><br>Nokia already fulfilled our wishes for Flash 9, Mozilla-based webbrowser, swap-space, SDHC support, hw keyboard, GPS, Xcomposite, Bluetooth audio, so why not Java and OpenGL as well? I'm confident that at least OpenGL on maemo is not far away. :)

Android simulate RIM blackberrey is based on JVM development, I did not think Google Android affect Maemo.<div><span class="e" id="q_1163c036fb744a72_1"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 14, 2007 3:43 AM, Antonio Di Cello <
