For Android to really fulfil the dream I think it needs to open up. Let all the smart web people who currently use Python, or Ruby or PHP or whatever get in on the action. Most of them, I think, have rejected Java in one way or another already and are unlikely to go back. Their is a talented Java community out their but without the the critical mass of other developers its just another mobile java environment ala J2ME.
