Thanks Dianne, I am not sure if I agree with "no purpose". I understand only x86 is currently supported and I am sure ARM would be, eventually, but it would seem to me that having a sand-boxed native code environment would be beneficial too. I understand the kernel is currently providing sand-boxing, but the only code you can write is dalvik, at least from the SDK perspective. I was thinking it would be nice to be able to code in C or assembly--even if it is a subset--in a sand-boxed fashion.
Thanks for the reply though.
