Android has its defects, but it runs on hardware - I'd call it a bit beyond the vaporware
stage.

I write code for J2ME and Android (Hecl - www.hecl.org) because they're "complete" platforms
that are widely available.  You can't just make some embedded tools and an OS and call it
good, you have to have everything from the drivers to the GUI, and have the muscle to make it
widely deployed, something that Sun has done, and Google is credibly able to do.
