+400'000 Android apps for MeeGo Harmattan
Now in June 2012 OpenMobile seems to be working on a compatibility
Layer for MeeGo Harmattan, which should give us N9 users access to over
400'000 Android applications.
Even before the N9 was officially released, there were rumors about a possibility to run Android applications on MeeGo Harmatten using a compatibility layer.
Myriad Group was the first to officially announce a way (called Alien Dalvik) to operate Android applications on non-Android devices and showed promising videos like a Nokia N900 running a Android Photoshop application. Another creator of a similar project called ACL (Application Compatibility Layer) is OpenMobile which promises to use the Android ecosystem on other platforms.
Unfortunately many excited Nokia N9 users had to face a disappointement, because Alien Dalvik and OpenMobile's ACL only has been made available for OEMs (manufacturers) but not end-users - the hope to have Android apps on MeeGo Harmattan was fading away. But some hope is still there, and actually good news coming directly from OpenMobile.

Jolla Mobile to announce first MeeGo phone this year
Jolla Mobile, the company that was founded by Nokia's former MeeGo
strike-force, has been somewhat open to the media these days, revealing
some interesting bits of info regarding its eventual upcoming devices.
In an interview with Tech Crunch, Jolla's CEO, Jussi Hurmola, has talked about the company's plans to bring not one, but two MeeGo smartphones to the market next year. One of those smartphones would be targeted to the mass-market, general consumer, while the other will be designed with devs and hackers in mind. That really seems like an ambitious effort, considering that Jolla currently has no more than 50 employees, although they do claim they are hiring "aggressively".
Ex-Nokia guys start mystery company to build Linux-based phones
A six-man group of open-source diehards from Nokia have teamed up to
form Jolla Mobile, a company focused on building phones using the
Linux-based MeeGo operating system.
Rather, MeeGo will be a sort of jumping-off point. On its Twitter page,
Jolla advisor and former MeeGo product manager Jukka Eklund wrote, “We
are developing [our] own smartphone OS based on MeeGo… our own UI… for
new products.”
Jolla will soon be making announcements about its version of MeeGo as well as a brand new smartphone it’s bringing to market.
The company so far is composed of “N9 core professionals and MeeGo
community alumni,” the page reads. While N9 folks will be at the helm,
there is no intention to offer support for Nokia’s N9 smartphones — more
on those later.
