Also, to bolster another point I thought I had right earlier (and apparently did), under the section where it says, "Charles Nutter, explains about what Google did and why he thinks it did it and what might result:"

First, there's the VM. Dalvik is *not* a JVM. It doesn't run JVM bytecode, and you can't ship JVM bytecode expecting it to work on Dalvik. You must recompile it to Dalvik's own bytecode using one of the provided translation tools.

So yeah, as a technical clarification, it doesn't run Java tokenized code--it recognizes Java LANGUAGE that you type in, but it generates DALVIK (Android) bytecode.
