[Q] Google's Portable App Engine on your Xoom?

According to Google; Android 2.5 was suppose to include the Portable App Engine
"Using the new Portable App Engine, Android will now be able to run Palm Pre and iPhone applications using a virtual machine.
While the Pre only has about 2,000 applications, Apple’s iPhone is currently the industry leader with 150,000+. iPhone’s best games are very desirable to non-iPhone owners, for example, as they generally offer superior graphics and level of gameplay, that is, until Froyo comes out.
Portable App Engine is a "20%" project started by 2 Google engineers – Joseph Smarr and Ikai Lan – and got its name from Google’s flagship App Engine."
Has anyone checked to see if the Portable App Engine is part of Android 3.0 on your Xoom?

Sorry folks, trading reviews is not very honest and not in the spirit of true development, where free exchange of ideas and respectful contributions should be made. Using XDA to create this exchange is not very honest in that those who do not know XDA exists will get a false sense that all these apps are all 5.0....Let's be fair here, creating these "exchanges" is not really what XDA is for..
These threads will be summarily closed. So, use this thread and all the others here at XDA for their true intentions.
Thanks

[CLOSED][Q] Promoting game to get 100s of downloads a day

We are a small two man indie team, with a limited advertising budget, we are starting to see 200+ downloads a day, and our doing things a little different with this second game launch then we did with the first but are seeing a rise in downloads.
Our Checklist
- First hit the forums hard, joins threads and provide feedback that is valuable but also put in plugs for your new title.
- To get the ball rolling doing some small limited advertising, we've been using admob, make sure your graphics are eye catching and encompass all the cool elements of your game, this will get the ball rolling.
- In Game: add elements for social media, we've encorporated a share feature that gives away game attributes for a facebook share.
- Make sure to incorporate a ratings dialog
Feedback
So these steps have given us a return of a couple hundred downloads a day, but if anyone else knows tips or tricks please let us know.

How Huawei's HMS Core Helps Developers

Huawei has launched HMS Core Services 4.0 which promises to bring efficient application development, rapid growth, and flexible monetization. Let's take a close look at HMS core services and see how they help developers.
Huawei Mobile Services Core (HMS) Development Forums​
HMS Core Services 4.0 includes the following features:
Some of these services may seem familiar to you, as a number of them date back many years. Features like Account Kit have had time to mature and be polished with many updates. Other services like Location Kit and Analytics Kit and newer and have only been around since late 2019. The latest release of 4.0 includes ML Kit, Awareness Kit, Scan Kit, Nearby Service, as well as all the features shown in the graphic above. Huawei still plans on adding many more features in future updates.
So why would a developer want to choose HMS over GMS? HMS Core's service scope already encompasses most of the services in GMS Core. Huawei has also been a little bolder in exploring new terrain where GMS hasn't bothered to venture. For instance, with HUAWEI ML Kit, HMS Core is a step ahead of GMS Core in providing machine learning capabilities. Although Google has cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities, it has not yet added machine learning to GMS Core.
These are some of the ways that HMS 4.0 is helping developers, and offering an alternative solution to GSM.
