Mobile technology company Myriad has updated its Dalvik virtual machine for Android with Dalvik Turbo, which it says offers three times the performance for the same memory requirements.
Substantial battery life improvements are also claimed when running resource intensive tasks such as games.
The technology can be easily integrated and supports a range of processors including those based on ARM, Intel Atom and MIPS Architectures.
"The Android ecosystem continues to gain momentum with a regular flow of new devices being launched by operators and OEMs globally," says Simon Wilkinson, Myriad's CEO.
"By bringing together Myriad's heritage in virtual machines and Linux platforms, we have been able to significantly improve the performance of Android handsets, leading to a greatly enhanced user experience with richer applications and games and improved responsiveness."
Myriad has been involved with several Android devices, notably working with Google, HTC and T-Mobile for the G1 to provide instant and multimedia messaging, and the WAP browser.
