From what I heard it will be native - although all I've heard are
rumors - certainly no statement of intent.

Is that Android 1.5? 1.6? 2.1? 2.2? Or will it be 3.0?
Apart from that, isn't a "target" for a compiler a bit more than just
an OS/platform/framework ... ?
If Delphi is to "target" Android then it must target the CPU
architectures that Android itself runs on (with iPhone the distinction
is blurred since only one phone hardware platform runs the OS --
iPhone the OS */_is_/* iPhone the hardware, to intents and purposes).
Android might be running on (currently) ARM-Cortex A7, A8, or A9 (as
far as I can tell -- I am not an Android owner or otherwise
particularly interested in Android, so this is based on a few mins
with my learned friend, Mr Google J)

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#
