I saw this at Wikipedia about a restriction with using Android:


I am wondering what the implications of this means in a practical sense. Would this effect the ability to use java based chatrooms or games on yahoo chat for example from an Android based device?
Well I had a look at the wikipedia page, and it will run Java applications if they were compiled using the Dalvik Virtual Machine (a mobile based java - not JVM standard). So my interpretation is if the application is compiled using Sun's JDK it wont run on Android, but if you get the application source and compile it using Dalvik Virtual Machine it should run without changes to the source.

Funny though, Sun Java wont run on Android yet to build the Android OS you need Sun Java (OpenJDK wont work). Hmmmm
