[quote]To avoid the performance problems that virtualisation can introduce, the Columbia researchers adopted a different approach that involves the core or kernel of the Android operating system. This approach works on the stream of instructions passing through an Android device and alters only those relating to the iOS apps.[/quote] To avoid the "performance problems of virtualisation", they apply paravirtualisation (binary translation) - which is the only possible method of virtualisation on Android devices/device socs. Am truly curious how this'd compare to using pre-translated applications. Without any doubt an interesting development, though turning this in a product would probably break a lot of user license agreements.

now if only we could get android apps on ios
