With the standard firmware you need *either* and Android *or* a PC to be connected at all time you want the IOIO to work. With custom firmware you can do whatever you want, but that would not typically be in Java. There was some work done in the past by someone to port uJava (a minimal JVM) to the IOIO. Look it up if you're interested. It probably doesn't support most of the peripherals, it was more like a proof of concept last I checked.
