Indeed we are going to make the Cordova plugin as usable/stable as we can. Then, we leave it up to mobile developers and mobile platform owners to develop solutions using JXcore. We envision and design JXcore to be technology embeddable to any other solution while you can develop your mobile applications.
Making Node.js run on mobile devices was a long and tricky process. The general opinion is 'Node.js' runs on Android because it has V8. V8 is Google, Google is Android... The fact is, yes, it's technically possible and you can even make it work after patching it at some level but Node.js's design is not suitable for embedding into another app. Node.js was initially considered for server environment as a standalone application. As a result, if you are planning to embed Node.js into your precious Android solution (or any other), the list below might give you an idea on what is awaiting you;
