Looks like it, but we should caution that this will NOT be Java™ "write
once, run anywhere" -- not by a long shot.

It will instead be "write the core once, write the UI once for each
target platform," as (currently) the UI layers are platform specific
(Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 Series, MonoTouch for iPhone, and
MonoDroid for Android [0]).

I hope you fully understand the MVC pattern. :-)
