Well, no. As Android targets any processor - not just ARM. Indeed, there are Intel based versions. Native is bad, and only come in to existence to compete with other platforms with purely native compilation - and then purely to counteract criticisms on the performance of games and multimedia apps. Davlik was created for a reason - compile once, run on multiple targets. Would it not be a better solution to create a Dalvik back-end? As I understand it, Dalvik is very, far from a traditional stack based Java VM and closer to a traditional register based processor in design. I know little about it, but the benefits of Android, as a platform, are completely lost when one focuses on native compilation.
