(obdisclosure: I work in the Open Source Programs Office at Google and
helped with the Android open source release)

Actually, nothing requires you to write code in the Dalvik VM. That's just
what's published at the moment for compatability. I was at a tech talk the
other day where it was explained that a native interface extension for
Dalvik is coming out (so you can code against libc and libm at least. Have
to provide other libraries yourself), and that doing fully native
applications is possible, but not the focus right now.

All the applications on the G1 already run as their own processes with
permissions enforcement done by the kernel, so the security model is
already setup to handle this.

For more details, I have to refer you to one of the core Android devs,
though.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
