Android Schwartz Dalvic

This should get interesting. On one hand you have Jonathan Schwartz saying this on his blog. On the other you have Google’s Android and their Dalvic VM. Looks like the lawyers (perhaps, heh) and Java programmers are the winners, perhaps all of us as well. Google’s Dalvik VM gives something for everyone, I love it [...]
