I might add that you can't code in Python on the Android, since
it runs only Java apps. I heard there are efforts to bring X language
apps into Android, but none is yet mature.

Maemo being fully Linux derived (Android just runs a Linux kernel
and a Dalkin Java VM on top) including the application layers, it
is a simple matter to port any Linux app to it which is what basically
makes it so disruptive.
