The work by Daniel Solano Gomez at https://github.com/sattvik/neko is the state of the art, so to speak. There's a start-up time penalty associated with loading the runtime, and you'll need Daniel's fork of clojure if you want to do anything dynamic. The readme in the repo is pretty good; you should check it out. There's also a google group (clojure-android) which you may have found already, and Alex Yakushev has a blog at http://clojure-android.blogspot.com/ to cover his work for Google Summer of Code (and maybe beyond?). You might want to check out Daniel's Clojure REPL in Google Play. You can use it to evaluate forms on the device, and it will give you some idea of the performance of dynamic compilation.
