There isn't an official Android build for the PI yet not until Broadcom have release their hardware drivers yet (which seems to be taking forever).

Most people use Raspbian (linux).

Have a look here, it has the official OS selections for the board... http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

android doesn't run on raspberry, its a separate OS

For most people running .apk files from android market would be enough. With the pre release of JavaFX, most android apps will be easy to convert form source. Theoretically the android API should be possible to translate into a JavaFX set of runtime classes and an install script.

The problem then becomes getting google to allow market downloads to the Pi, and the supplying of a Pi application which does all the fancy sychronization to google.

False, the Play Store downloads two files which are not .apk files.
One file is the application itself and the second file is the update, when updating only the second file (update file) will be downloaded and installed.
You can install .apk with the package installer application.

you would have to decompile the dalvik bytecode and recompile it for the regular jvm. The 2 VM's arent compatible.

Or, you could implement the dalvik VM straight on the pi.

The Play Store/Android Market installs applications has two files, the original application and the update package which are not .apk, they are in different file extensions.
