Android apps running on your iPad? Alien Dalvik makes it possible.
In case you’re not familiar with Alien Dalvik, it is a port of the Dalvik virtual machine, which is the software in Google’s Android operating system responsible for executing Android apps. According toSlashGear, the Myriad Group (the brains behind the Alien Dalvik project) announced support for Apple’s iPad in Alien Dalvik version 2.0.
As a result, the unimaginable (even unholy) becomes possible: You’ll be able to download, install and run Android software on your Apple-branded tablet. Alien Dalvik wraps each Android app file in its own virtual machine so it kinda feels as if you were running a native iPad app. The Myriad Group explains:
Myriad will be showcasing Alien Dalvik 2.0 and its multi-screen strategy, demonstrating Android apps on Apple iPad for the first time at CTIA Enterprise & Applications 2011 next week. Myriad今天发布了一个名为Alien Dalvik 2.0的虚拟机软件,只要使用这个软件,无论是电视、电子书阅读器,还是Android的最大对手iOS平台的iPad,都将可以.
From a user perspective, Alien Dalvik 2.0 is completely transparent and installed without user disruption. Users simply enjoy the same rich Android ecosystem they have become accustomed to via mobile on other key screens, such as playing Angry Birds on HDTV. This all while gaining faster access to a wider range of apps, thus encouraging a higher frequency of downloads and increased ARPU.
We assume performance won’t be comparable to native iOS apps and we’re expecting hiccups and compatibility issues. This begs the question: Why would you want to run Android apps on your iPad?

Apple’s iOS software boss Scott Forstall said at Monday’s iPhone 4S introduction that about 140,000 out of the 500,000 apps available on the App Store have been specifically created with iPad in mind. Android apps also aren’t as pretty or delightful as their iOS counterparts. But the fact that most are either free or ad-supported should mean something so we expect some folks will give Alien Dalvik a try. Stay tuned as the team promised to show off Alien Dalvik 2.0 running third-party Android apps on iPad 2 at CTIA 2011 next week.

Alien Dalvik is available on several platforms other than Android, including Nokia’s MeeGo-driven N9 smartphone. The team has big plans as they’ve embarked on porting Alien Dalvik to a wide variety of devices spanning set-top boxes, television sets, smartphones and tablets. The N9 smartphone can run Android apps pretty nicely even though the performance reportedly doesn’t cut it compared to the native experience on Android-powered handsets. Alien Dalvik should have come to Research In Motion’s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, but RIM had opted for their own “app player” instead.
