That's exactly what I was thinking about, just I could not express myself so clear :-). It would be nice to have a compatibility layer on top of OpenMoko to run Android applications. There are going to be many Android applications created after Google's announcement, so it would be nice to make them available on OpenMoko.

I'm wondering more about the viability of porting the top 1/2 of
android (the JVM, the JVM's hooks to the lower level functionality,
and above) to work on the openmoko base. Should be quite feasible and
would be a good "embrace and extend" maneuver.

In my opinion Android should work quite well on a GTA02 device. I guess
sooner or later somebody will try to port it to the Neo then we will
see.

openmoko is a software plattform, I guess you are asking about neo1973 hw?

they seem to require some minimum CPU and neo 1973 has a too small one.
but I'm no expert at this, IIRC neo 1973 is arm 4 or 5 core, and android
wants a arm r9 core or so. maybe I got it all wrong?
