How can a .jar be run on Android or iOS? Android is built on some bastardized
version of JAVA but AFAIK nobody has yet produced a fully functional JAVA
Runtime Environment (JRE) for Android.

platforms.
Looks like they could uses something like this cross-platform system. Seems to
embed an app specific JRE into the app, like a 'wrapper' to interface between
the JAVA code and the OS's API.

Can I ask what country you live in.

don't like them.
I just can't imagine not having paper forms.
