Delvik or Dalvik?

The Android's VM is called 'Dalvik' on its offical site, but I found the name 'Delvik' has also been used with Android's VM in some forums and kind of articles. So could someone helps me to figure out what's 'Delvik'? it's just a miss spelling or something else? Thanks very much:).

Delvik is a typo. The VM is called Dalvik. A google search on Dalvik returns 4.5M+ results. Delvik turns out only a few thousand, with all the programming-related ones I could see on the first pages either pointing to Dalvik or to forum posts with typos.

Oh, and this SO thread is now #4 in the google search for Delvik. Quite telling!
