Found the question about Symbian in the below posting - Would just like to add a vote. Mobility is key - am I wrong when
I say most new applications has a mobility perspective?  We should have at least an official opinion on this?

I'd be interested to hear that, too! 

The only related product I know of is AppForge Crossfire (http:// 
www.appforge.com/products/crossfire/index.html), ( http://www.appforge.com/products/crossfire/index.html), ) which is
commercial. 

Mono does appear to support the ARM processor (http://www.mono- 
project.com/Mono:ARM); the biggest issue I see is that the memory   
management is considerably different on Symbian OS (cleanup stack),   
and non-constant global variables are problematic.
