I'm no android fanboy (I find their development environment heavy and full of boilerplate) but I would like to see their intent/activity model replicated elsewhere. Using an android phone or tablet, you really see app symbiosis (a task may be fulfilled by many applications, dispatch happens at runtime and is user-driven)
