Alien Dalvik 2.0 puts Android apps on iPad

Android apps running on Apple iPad are now a possibility thanks to Alien Dalvik v2.0, developersMyriad have announced, as part of the company push for Android software on tablets, TVs, in-care infotainment and more. First announced for MeeGo devices earlier this year, Alien Dalvik basically wraps Android apps in standalone runtime packaging: to the user, its a seamless matter of booting an app that has become basically platform-agnostic.

Although the iPad support is likely to be the most eye-catching, Myriad has greater ambitions for Alien Dalvik than just putting Android software onto iOS hardware.
