No android device supports ALL apps, and I seriously doubt it would be the case here.
It's a subtlety, but apps coded using the NDK are not portable like the Dalvik ones, and are limited to the architecture they were compiled for. I also do not see mention of the NDK support in the Myriad literature, though I suspect it wouldn't be hard to implement.
I think it's safe to say that *most* apps will work (thanks to Dalvik's portability), which is a huge plus for the Maemo/MeeGo community.
Now if only someone would return the favour, and create an environment in Android in which MeeGo apps could run!
