Consumers are driving multimedia evolution and are demanding more converged multi-screen services. “Digital screens such as Internet-enabled TVs and in-vehicle displays, along with other consumer devices like tablets and e-books are proliferating at an astounding rate. “We have seen incredible momentum in Android adoption, but we are just scratching the surface,” said Simon Wilkinson, Chief Executive Officer, Myriad Group.
It will be a boon for jailbreakers, but don’t expect to gain access to the Android Market’s library of apps with the approval of the iPad maker. As far as Apple goes, we don’t expect they will play nicely with Myriad’s latest toy. The far reaching benefit is the ability for developers to code an app only once, while the virtual machine will more likely come into play in order to boost app selection on lesser developed platforms (think RIM and their Android emulator for the BlackBerry Playbook). Myriad will show off the technology first-han at next week’s CTIA conference, highlighting Alien Dalvik’s ability to run unmodified APK files. The big name here, of course, is Apple’s iPad, but Alien Dalvik 2.0 will also bring the capability to TVs, ebook readers, and more. The Myriad Group unveiled their latest version of Alien Dalvik today, a Dalvik virtual machine emulator designed to run Android Applications on all sorts of non-Android devices. But don’t expect Apple to allow it for long.
