If Go compiles to ARM, there's no reason it couldn't run on Android. Check out the Android NDK; all you need to port is the Java Native Interface. After that, it should be almost as easy as dropping in the next version of GCC, which will support Go.

It's not a full replacement for Java, as most of the APIs are currently inaccessible via the NDK. But it's getting there.

It does :) though it's early days with the arm side of things. I'd be surprised if google don't work on specifically making it easy to code in go for NaCl and android.
