Intel lets developers reuse Android Java code on iOS — Yes, you read that right the first time. And the iOS Java apps running on iPhones have native Xcode UIs.
To the astonishment of everyone seeing Multi-OS Engine for the first time, iOS apps can be developed on Windows using Android Studio and debugged on Windows using a USB tethered iPhone or the iOS emulator Intel built for Android Studio.
Intel is courting developers with previews.

Hello,
Is there a way to run Android applications on an iOS?
I'm asking because I keep hearing about how Android is java-based so I though it might be possible that someone ported a java-based platform that can execute it on the iPhone.
It would be handy to be able to develop applications for Android and then just have them execute on an iOS platform if the users so wished.
YES!!!
Mono for Android Could Bring More Windows Developers to Android
by Quentyn Kennemer on April 6th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Novell has announced that Mono for Android is now available for C# and .NET developers to enjoy. If you don’t know, these languages are widely-used by Windows developers on the desktop and is the primary programming language for developing apps on Microsoft’s mobile devices.
With Mono, developers who swear up and down by C# and .NET can now bypass java and develop apps for Android in the language they love. It’s similar to what kept Mozilla from developing Firefox for Android – the Android SDK only had support for applications written in Java while Mozilla does everything in C++. The release of the NDK opened that opportunity and now Firefox is one of the most popular browsers on the market.
We’re not sure who exactly would want to or will be bringing these Windows-bred applications to Android so it’ll be interesting to see how well Mono takes off. It’s a pricey technology to pick up, though – you’ll have to pay $400 for the professional edition of the license and $999 if you’re developing for enterprise. Those who already paid for MonoTouch – which is Mono for iOS – can get 50% off of the Android version. [via ReadWriteWeb]

I use C# on a daily basis at my job and writing Android apps with C# would be awesome.
Hopefully this is news to others that might be as interested in this as I am.
Is anyone else excited about this? Or better yet, has anyone else tried it?
I'll be giving the trial a go this weekend.
I just wish it wasn't so expensive...
Would there be a performance impact?
Ideos X5 / Huawei U8800
I was curious about this, if the android smartphones/tabs powered x86 intel processors can be used such that we can install desktop windows or other x86 OSes?
Unlikely as we would need to build drivers for the phone which is rather difficult when the manufacturers like to have things on lockdown most of the time, also it would probably brake some strange contract with Microsoft as most things do. Look at the Surface and Surface RT
Also the UI (Even Metro) would struggle to work on the display adapter
So in short no we can't run Windows on x86 Android phones, yet anyway
Install Android in Windows without Virtual box
I tried this product DuOS which will install Android version Jellybean in Windows 7/8/8.1 platforms. This one is very simple for use comparing with Bluestacks and has good performance for applications. Refer the link for further details and installation check the website for amiduos:good:
I have been thinking about Firefox OS. Why anyone would buy a Firefox phone, if the platform (Apps store and apps) are implemented in the Firefox web browser for Android? What actually IS the Firefox platform - A so called 'Operating System' or the special gecko runtime? I think it's the gecko runtime.
Android is the same (yet dissimilar). Is Android an OS? or is it just a sophisticated Java runtime enviroment? I think, it's mostly that sophisticate Java enviroment.
Java's purpose was to create a platform that abstracted out across most other platforms (the UNIX's, Macintosh and Windows). It gave developers freedom, it gave businesses more flexible architecture, and it gave the FOSS community a powerful way to touch and intergrate free software onto multiple platforms at once. Android is implemented some what ontop of Java. (This makes sense, as almost all non-smartphones used Java Micro edition, I believe.)
But if everything Java, works multiplatform, why can't Android too?
I do know of course there are dependancies in the Java underworld within Android itself (camera, sensors libraries and etc...) Again, doesn't Java abstract that all out?
Hi all,
Just inquiring if there is any app I could install on my android tab
and be able to do some java programming, like running Luna Eclipse
which does so well on windows.
Regards.
@faeiz747, despite its Linux roots, Android is far from capable of running Eclipse IDE as is. Not only is the hardware inadequate for supporting such a large application, but Android lacks a full Java SE JVM (Dalvik is a subset) and SWT (Eclipse UI framework) implementation for native Android UI controls does not exist. On Linux, SWT implementations exist only for GTK and Motif.
You may be interested in Project Orion, which is an effort at eclipse.org to create Eclipse-like experience in the browser. I understand that people have been able to use Orion from a mobile browser on devices such as the one on the iPad.
