Native Client only works on Chrome so it's not exactly cross-platform.

I know, but I was thinking they are going to port NaCl to Android to make their games cross-platform.

NaCl is x86 and x86_64 only, so it can't run on Android on ARM anyhow.

Not true: ARM can run PNaCL.

PNaCl is not NaCl. None of the NaCl apps in the Chrome App Store are PNaCl apps - which isn't surprising since PNaCl isn't ready.
