But when using MeeGo, who will dare (or care) to introduce a new architecture or improved hardware? It's not only a matter of architecture. Even an improved instruction set or extra registers will be useless if you have the same binaries, just like it happens with Debian (all programs are compiled for ridiculously old hardware).
Soo are u saying dalvik doesnt need those registers or what? Or are you saying. dalvik just found the new hardware and optimize it right away wihout a need toouch the code in dalvik codebase?

You have the same problems in Android too.
