Ubuntu gets Android apps

[ℓєσ gнσѕт]

Canonical, the main sponsor Ubuntu Linux, is developing an Android execution environment to allow android apps on Linux desktops. There’s still a lot of work to do to get this running smooth, but they do have a proof of concept functioning, as seen above. This could be very nice for those who have linux netbooks.

Since Linux Mint is based off of Ubuntu, I can't wait to fire up Mint 7 (soon as the 6 update path is released) and get playing with this. Anyone else find this remotely interesting?

Are Android apps like those Widgets you download and use on your desktop, or I-phone apps?
