Jeff Hoogland has done an amazing review about Maemo vs. Android

on his Blog: Thoughts on Technology

in his review Android vs Maemo - Hands on Review he compares the two open source platforms based on Linux.

"There is no doubt that Linux will be the dominant player in the mobile market by the end of 2010. This is namely thanks to Google's Android OS, which has been appearing on more handsets than I can count the past few months. Android however is not the only mobile Linux operating system (however it is easily the most popular) that exists.

I have done more than a few posts about my Nokia N900, which is another mobile device that runs a variation of Linux known as Maemo..."

 

"...I recently came into possession of an Android powered device of my own and as I such I was curious to see what all the fuss was about. For the last week I have retired my N900 to the back seat and had my SIM card inserted in my Android powered Kaiser just to see how Google's mobile operating system handles itself in comparison to Maemo."

here are the main categories and his review results (in short):

Android:

• Hardware Selection 10/10
• Computing 7/10
• Phone 8/10
• Applications 8/10
• Internet Usage 8/10
