I was following this development with Maemo in mind.
It turned out that Dalvik VM and Android standard library is so tightly bound to the underlying modified kernel and OS layer (mainly completely custom IPC mechanics), that it would require either:
- heavy modifications of the Ubuntu kernel and OS
- heavy modification of Dalvik and library to replace missing parts

So, the project was put on the shelf.
