It would bring thousands of apps to the N900 and motivate Maemo devs to make apps compatible with the N900/Android phones.

Nokia doesn't support Java and Android supports some kind of perverted version of Java, so unlikely same applications could work in both Android and Meego/Maemo devices.

MeeGo apps could run on Android through Qt?

Theoretically (and I believe in practise also in the future) interpreted code can be faster, more power efficient and less buggy than fully compiled one. There needs to be only one VM in RSS memory and all applications can use its codebase.
Device drivers and kernel is a different thing, but for applications it makes sense.

It's unlikely that you would see Dalvik in Maemo (though I don't know why besides business interests.. for example is it owned by Google?). Though I remember reading something about people trying to bring QT to Android.

This has been previously discussed in the thread, "Android on Maemo and/or Mer".

Also, search this forum for NITDroid for info on an alternative OS method (as opposed to what the OP asked for, which is Dalvik running within Maemo).

on the topic of java, ARM cores have had a java accelerator for ages, thanks to j2me being "popular" on featurephones (with opera mini being the best known example).
