Koala, Try this for starters: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4491720/why-android-is-built-on-a-vm-dalvik
and follow various pointer that appear there (like the video from Google I/O 2008). It should shed some light on why there was a need to rewrite JVM for speed and small memory footprint. Just to let you know, Dalvik VM is based (in the areas that overlapped with restricted architecture design) on Apache Harmony. What you want is to port Apache Harmony to ARM architecture. It is not a small nor easy task and you can appreciate yourself that desktop machine does not have certain constraints present in a mobile device even when computing power of the said mobile is on par with desktop. (battery, memory, different OS design, ...)
