Mobile technology company Myriad Group has revealed version 2.0 of Myriad Alien Dalvik. The original release enabled Android apps to run on non-Android smartphones; Alien Dalvik 2.0 enables Android applications to run on other platforms as well, such as tablets, eBook readers, TVs and in-car devices. As part of the launch, Myriad will be showcasing Alien Dalvik 2.0 by demonstrating Android apps running on an Apple iPad at CTIA Enterprise & Applications 2011 in California next week.

Simon Wilkinson, Chief Executive Officer of Myriad Group, said “We have seen incredible momentum in Android adoption, but we are just scratching the surface. Digital screens such as Internet-enabled TVs and in-vehicle displays, along with other consumer devices like tablets and e-books are proliferating at an astounding rate. Consumers are driving multimedia evolution and are demanding more converged multi-screen services. With Alien Dalvik 2.0, we are creating a more flexible, consistent user experience by mobilizing content such as live sports, recorded TV shows and on-demand movies, so users can enjoy content seamlessly from one device to the next.”

Alien Dalvik 2.0 enables the majority of Android apps to run as standard Android Package (APK) files, allowing developers to create a single cross-platform app and simplifying the publication of applications. The process is completely transparent to end users.

We started this week with a story that grabbed plenty of attention. It was a report from Billmonitor.com that claimed we in the UK were wasting almost £5 billion every year by choosing the wrong mobile tariffs. Although I remained a little cynical about some of the detail, there's no doubt that many consumers could be better off if they switched tariff - or even network.

Oh, those nasty mobile networks. They're robbing us blind… at least, that's what you might think if you've been reading the headlines this week.

Mobile users 'overpaying by £200', said the BBC. £5bn 'wasted' on mobile phone bills, said the Financial Times. It's the wrong tariff, Gromit!, said Telecom TV after hitting the Wensleydale.

We head into the weekend with the News of the World admitting voicemail hacking was more widespread than previously thought. Mobile networks had already made it much harder to access voicemail remotely… and now the NotW is saying sorry and preparing to pay compensation.

We all have guilty pleasures. One of mine is the sci-fi film Demolition Man. Sylvester Stallone is 20th-century police sergeant John Spartan, who finds himself fighting crime in 2032 alongside the delightful Lieutenant Lenina Huxley, played by Sandra Bullock.
