I would start that the kernel is different. Android's Linux kernel has diverged from the main, Linus Linux kernel that MeeGo is based. And Android doesn't necessarily use the tip of the kernel for development and product release either. So if you were going to do work on say, power management, you need to go to Google's Android site and pull their kernel.
