FTFA:
Myriad Alien Dalvik will be commercially available later this year on the MeeGo platform. Other platform support will be announced in the coming months. Alien Dalvik will be demonstrated for the first time on the Nokia N900 at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from February 14th-17th at the Myriad hospitality suite located at The Avenue, Stand AV91.
Quite interesting :)

Great news !!!

If truly possible we can run FRING, NIMBUZZ and many more and there will be no complaint for application like i mentioned above for maemo5

Can we directly install or need to changed to .deb

Thanks for such news

Now that's what I'm talking about, cross platform application availability!

Re: Alien Dalvik, run android apps on non android phones (Like N900)
 

I'm not sure it's for Maemo though. Perhaps demoed with MeeGo on N900. We'll see. But the news is quite exciting regardless.

Looks very interesting, the only thing that worries me is that if it's going to be demoed on the N900, does that mean we'll still be waiting for a release a year later and have a thread with thousands of replies screaming "where's my dalvik"?

So it will be like a VM inside a VM

Re: Alien Dalvik, run android apps on non android phones (Like N900)
 

Why? I don't think the VM needs a VM, It is already a VM.
It's just rewritten to fit I guess.

E: The video claims it's just as fast

Lets hope so. :D

The youtube clip shows it running on maemo...I really don't want to get my hopes too high but I just can't help it :o
