Nitpick that doesn't affect my argument. Argument is based on access to underlying hardware not it being JVM.
Since edit window has passed:
Just because it's based on JVM compatible VM, doesn't make ART/Dalvik my Operating system either.
Because neither JVM nor Dalvik are OS.
Android is a kind of Linux just like Dalvik is a kind of JVM.
Ok, but what makes OS an operating system? Versus a virtualization mechanism or an app?
In the case of JVM threading, file handling, memory management etc. is delegated down to the host real operating system.
