Actually, there are a lot of similarities, which have started becoming =20
more known since the Oracle-Google lawsuit recently.  First, Android =20
dev in done in Java, so it should be a much easier port.  But =20
apparently the java class files get converted into a slightly =20
different format of the same code to be run on Android.  And =20
apparently the VM's (JVM & Dalvik) are almost identical.  Hence the =20
suit.  I don't remember all the specifics offhand right now.
