Indeed, it seems a good starting point. The main problem to this project is to have a compatible Android kernel running on Maemo. But it seems there is a big memory consumption, which will not be a problem with the Neo900. And it seems that with a more modern kernel it will be easier, kernel which will be brought by Maemo 5 on Neo900. But after having a running Android chroot, there will be a big code writing for doing the glue between the chroot and Maemo .... It seems a be a better idea to investigate about ARC Chromium extension but it requires a more modern OS than Maemo 5.
