Porting Android's Java VM to the iPhone?

Question

Does anyone know of any existing projects that aim to port Android's Java VM over to the iPhone? From what I understand, this wouldn't be too out of reach and would certainly make for some exciting developments.

Edit: I should point out that I am aware this will not happen using the official iPhone SDK. However, a jailbroken platform would remove any Apple-imposed roadblocks. I imagine most that would be interested in integrating Android into the iPhone would also be the demographic that would typically have a jailbroken iphone.

Answer 1

There isn't currently an effort to port Dalvik to iPhone because Google hasn't released the source yet. As soon as the source is released (assuming all of it will be) I would think this will happen. It's also likely to be seen on other homebrew platforms such as PSP, Pandora, openmoko, etc.

Answer 2

Android Dalvik run on iOS:

The "In the box" open source project show on their website (www.in-the-box.org) for the first time and as a first step of their open source project a Android Dalvik VM running on iOS. (No need to jailbreak).

"In the box" is an open source project create to provide a porting of Gingerbread Android runtime on top of iOS. It enables Android application developers to execute their Android application on iOS.

Enjoy :-)
