[Coco] Anyone Interested In CoCo Emulator On Android?

[Steve Bjork]

  I've never liked Java and Oracle, the new owners of Java (because they 
bought Sun) has a lawsuit against Google for the way they have done Java 
on Android.

See: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet#The_2010_Oracle_-_Google_lawsuit

Google at the same time calls the suit "attack on /Java/ community" 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28mobile_device_platform%29#cite_note-161> 
and will fight it. (for years.)

If Oracle keeps this up, Java could be a dead language someday.

I should point out...
While Android applications are written in Java, there's no Java Virtual 
Machine in the platform and Java byte code is not executed. Java classes 
get recompiled into Dalvik executable and run on Dalvik virtual machine. 
Dalvik is a specialized virtual machine designed specifically for 
Android and optimized for battery-powered mobile devices with limited 
memory and CPU. Android does not support J2ME, like some other mobile 
operating systems.
