I left Palm for Android a while ago, choosing Android primarily because of my need for excellent calendaring, the knowledge that Steuart Dewar (CESD) of DateBk was going to develop an Android PIM system sync'able with his Desktop Pimlical, based on Java,, and the desire to be involved in the beta testing for that as a (pale) substitute for the fun http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/of pScripting with pToolSet.  I am by no means a comprehensive expert in Android OS, but I've tried to answer some of your items in terms of what Android OS can do, in line below , after the <<SNIP>>.  There are a lot of differences from Palm in Android, significant learning curve.

Thanks for chiming in, John.

Dwight's likely next step if he leaves the PalmOS world will be a
flavor of Android.  I know something about Android on a systems level,
but don't currently have an Android device and have only a vague
notion of what apps are available.  (I was pretty sure Dataviz had an
Android version of Docs to Go.)

I mentioned Apt in my original post.  As it happens, the last
developer on Apt is in the Android world these days, and wrote
something that appears to be comparable to Apt called Tasker.  You
might want to take a look.  Not open source, but really cheap
shareware. It's available from http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

There is an alpha scripting layer for Android, allowing folks to write
and run code in things like Python and Perl, so it you feel like
dabbling in something other than pscripts, there's a sandbox to play
in.  See http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
