Rob mentioned a "self-bootstrapping" environment, which has to mean a working OS. Or it could be a chrooted environment, but that's already possible on android.

Also, most people developing on android devices would want to develop android apps. The development environment for that (sdk+ide etc) is pretty heavyweight, and I'm not sure it even exists on ARM. But it would definitely be brilliant if you could compile, debug and run an app right on your mobile device without needing a computer. Even better if you could recompile the kernel and install it while keeping the earlier one as a backup -- we are all used to doing that on desktops, but doing it on a mobile device is much trickier.
