Lol, Android is moving towards being a compile-from-source based distro like Gentoo or Ports! Long installation times for big apps, but the end result is machine code tuned to each device's particular CPU. Can't wait to see this in action, and I wonder if they might be able to find a nice middle ground for lesser hardware. Perhaps the compilation could be done at background low priority while application runs normally on Dalvik. Eventually the app would speed up, and will be available much sooner.
