Recently Ruchith posted about Google phone and it's new SDK. Eventually the released happened and here is a little post on it.
After the initial delightment of the announcement on Android release, people seemed giving mixed reviews on it's Dalvik virtual machine. Impressed with the linux2.8 kernel , libraries and the application stack. But the eyebrows are raised when it comes to the runtime engine Dalvik.
When I saw that the Dalvik's limited support to standard java ( Ok Sun java !) , suddenly GWT came to my mind where GWT supports core java like java.lang , still it is a different JRE and compiler. But it is understandable for GWT as end of the day you create java scripts out of it.
But here Dalvik's attempts to become a standard for mobile devices. Of course we often have enough troubles and limitations with J2ME. So Google would want to have its own standard. But it will take a bit long while to be available and compatible in the market phones.
But IPhone is yet to arrive in Asian market and Google is planning to release its own model, it won't be too long Android dominating the arena.
And since Google's lack of intention to go along with Open JDK on this, I think slowly Google is moving to its own Google JDK. So be ready !!!
