Reminds me of OS/2 and Windows. In that case, there was little incentive to write for OS/2 natively, instead developers took the lowest common denominator to achieve the largest market share for the least effort. Not a bash on Android, it has it's advantages.<div>

Hi,<div><br></div><div>I just read that the <a href="http://wetab.mobi/" target="_blank">Wetab</a> tablet will come with an Android-stack that will allow users to install Android apps on the tablet even thoug it is not natively running Android.</div>
<div>This stack seems to be a kind of Android runtime environment based on Android 2.1.</div><div>I really wonder if it would be possible to get this stack running on Maemo/MeeGo or if Nokia might be willing to include such a stack in upcoming OS releases. Many apps are currently released for Apple iOS or Android, but there are barely Apps released for Maemo/MeeGo.</div>
<div>Therefore an Android runtime environment would be a great asset for Maemo/MeeGo users IMHO, especially since Nokia is not about to release Android phones in the near future.</div><div>However, I also see the possibility that such a stack could draw even more developers away from native development for Nokia (e.g. in QT).</div>
<div>What do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div> Chris </div>
