While I hate the Android experience I have a Nexus tablet flashed to Cyanogen Mod with no Google Play(F-Droid repos and a few APKs from apk-dl.com).
The web browser works and while there are not the wealth of quality apps for Android vs Maemo there are some which cover for those missing on Maemo. I do like the bigger screen for browsing it renders more websites, and either getting online by bluetooth tether or just VNC and use Maemo apps indirectly with the tablet.
I love my N900, I seen no replacement, but finding good batteries is getting tough. Hoping for some cool stuff to happen once they mainline the android kernel and we can get x running with android driver support(yech binary blobs).
