Android vs Maemo
Technically, both Maemo and Android run on Linux kernels. However, Maemo is a full Linux distro, based on Debian, while Android is a sole kernel with a few programs on top of it (namely, Dalvik virtual machine and Sqlite database). On Android all applications run within Dalvik virtual machine. I tried to analyze the benefits of each platform from the perspective of a software developer, as well as platforms' current "strategic position".
