Perhaps, but it'd be easier to implement support for D on the Google 
Android :-).

LDC might be able to generate .class files, which can be run through the 
Android thingy to get them into a format gor which Google doesn't have 
to pay Sun. The trick would be integrating D and Java's GCs. You can 
probably already get a *very* simple program which doesn't use the D 
runtime working by using LDC to generate a .bc, using the LLVM JVM 
backend to write out a .class file and run it through the google thing. 
Not sure if anyone's tried it, though.
