I dare say I would probably be interested in most anything you can come up with :) but I suspect the project would need to be something more specific

+1 to that.

What sets android apart from its peers to make it more deserving of
apache's attention?  It's not even the most open of mobile platforms!

Something I could be interested in is a lab for cross-platform
mobile development.  But I don't have a proposal that would
work as an apache project.

I completely agree - what I think would be useful would be a W3C Widgets[1] & W3C DAP[2] implementation for Android to enable cross- platform standards-based mobile app development (as suggested by Peter- Paul Koch [3]). Apache Wookie(Incubating)[4] already implements the Widgets spec so there is code there to build on.
