"The Android reference implementation does not (yet) contain such a JIT compiler, though other implementations may choose to provide one."

I thought that was one of the complaints about Android/Java - the VM runs the code; there's no JIT. That's why the prototype Dalvik JIT that was announced very recently was big news. It certainly wasn't announced in the 90s, anyway.
