As long as Android obviously has a rather poorly performing VM and no support for playing software generated PCM samples (except for writing them to a temporary WAV file and telling Andorid to play it after decoding is complete) it's not feasible, but a "real"

My understanding is that T-Mobile pushes out over the air updates of the operating system every so often. For example, there's a new version of the Android OS called Cupcake<http://source.android.com/roadmap/cupcake>in the
