'Alien Dalvik' Ports Android Apps to Non-Android Phones
Now THAT is Market Fragmentation...
but we also now have MeeGo, WebOS, BB, 7, iOS to worry about as an App Builder...
Awesome doesn't describe it.
Dalvik is a complete virtual machine, which means it doesn't matter what hardware or software you're running on. The app itself will resize when you run it the first time you run it and Android allows you to make your apps scalable. More then likely this VM will mimic a specific build of android (say 2.1) so that's the features the app can access. It's on this Alien Dalvik team to build the VM properly for each device.
The only thing this will really cause is if it's ported to other devices with non-standard screen sizes/resolutions. And even then, it's not android's problem, that's because they are porting the VM.
