This is incorrect.

Dalvik was created first and foremost for technical reasons. Dan explained
some of these in this
post<http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/dalvik-jit.html>,
but in a nutshell, the traditional JVM model is not well suited for embedded
development and Dalvik addresses this by focusing on very selective
compilation, aggressive memory optimizations, power consumption awareness
and a strong emphasis on multiprocesses and VM sharing.
