Not true.
My son just bought an android phone. Within just a few minutes he had an 
App up and running that gave him a console window (including a keyboard 
on the touch screen, as his device does not have a physical keyboard). 
He did not have root access then, but he said there are instructions 
found on the Internet how to do this.

Not true. On this forum I recently found a link to instructions on how 
to install an FPC program on an Android device.

As FPC programs do run and I seem to remember that there are several 
ways (with pros and cons) to make them create a GUI, I do suppose that 
someone will make Lazarus run some day soon.

I am positive that they are breakable, given that the software is open 
source, GPL licensed, mostly community driven, and there is a lot of 
public interest in giving knowledgeable users all permissions they want.
