I understand that Harmony's VM is a JVM, Dalvik is a circumvention of Sun's J2ME, which is a different issue (I believe Sun tried to protect J2ME far more strongly than the regular JVM, it's licensed differently and stuff)

Yes, they're different things, for sure, but this is a patent lawsuit, so the only thing that matters is if the code infringes. Whether it does or doesn't... only the case will tell, I guess. It's worrisome, though.

Android, more than 'circumventing' Java ME, is its own system. You can't run Java ME code with it. Android has its own API.

Yet clearly you don't understand this lawsuit at all. It's a patent lawsuit. Harmony's VM is just as subject to the FUD.
