Dalvik and its (Android) software libraries could be thought just like Java and its libraries or Python and its libraries. It is a way how interpreted languages succeed that they have some kind of standard software library with them.

And I rather run Java-applications also on a LSB compliant Linux system than in MS-Windows. I like to have SELinux and standard Linux tools underneath. So would many Android developers.

I think Java/Dalvik as just an improved J2ME/MIDP-platform.

When Dalvik has come to Meego, and if Meego succeeds, some Java-developers may start to use Qt from Java/Dalvik.

Running applications in a VM is a modern thing and has come to stay also in mobile devices. There is a still place for native applications, but in a long run I think their share will go smaller.
