SlashGear will be reporting from the show, and we’ll be very interested to see how well the two platforms can coexist.Ĭar makers could also offer Android apps without having to throw out their existing systems, which are typically based on Linux. Myriad will be showing Alien Dalvik 2.0 running Android apps on an iPad 2 at CTIA 2011 next week. The Myriad Group (the brains behind the Alien Dalvik project) announced support for Apple’s iPad in Alien Dalvik version 2.0. The end game for Myriad is for someone like a Comcast or Time Warner to offer Android apps within their own environment. Plus, more of the code would likely be native on future devices, which would speed up performance even more. We noticed a bit of lag when playing Flight Control, but Myriad reminded us that they accomplished this feat without any hardware acceleration or exposure to iOS' APIs. Except you can interact with the desktop and widgets and run apps using your finger. You fire up the app, and then you connect to Myriad's servers, which literally streams an Android desktop to the tablet via an H.264 video feed.
Here's how Alien Dalvik works on the iPad. Myriad wants to help everyone from cable companies to car makers to get Android apps up and running on their wares without needing the OS. It was a cool demo for sure, but there is a bigger point to all this.
We're talking full-screen apps, as well as widgets, all streaming from the cloud. At CTIA in San Diego, the company showed us its ambitious Alien Dalvik 2.0 platform running on an iPad. But it doesn't get more non-Android than this. Myriad demonstrated that it could get Android apps to run on non-Android devices at last year's Mobile World Congress.
