My understanding is that both Android and iPhone are being actively
experimented with as targets for the compiler. We'll probably hear more
once we have OS/X, Win64 and Linux support, which I suspect that it
would be at last 2 years away

I think Jolyon is right.
The difference between a proof of concept (which is basically what the
guy has now) and a robust tool which handles the majority of Delphi
features and libraries is enormous. Several orders of magnitude sounds
about right to me (meaning 100-1000 times more difficult, or even more).
I agree with the general principle though that being able to build for
Android (and/or iPhone and others) would be great. However I think the
only way it could really be done in a decent way is by Embarcadero
continuing to extend the back end compiler to support more and more
target platforms. They have made a few references in recent times
which suggest they hope to do this but only time will tell.
Cheers,
David.

Is it a compiler? Technically I mean - I'd call it a translator. :)
I wonder how far it can go though, beyond the simple examples I mean.
Translating a push button and a call to ShowMessage() is one thing. Being
able to translate a complex application with all the libraries that
Android
must support strikes me as a number of orders of magnitude more complex.

Interestingly the compiler is written in C#
