[Mono-list] Android

[daniel]

I personally would rather bindings to the android graphics libraries 
(whatever they are called) then a winforms port which will just look and 
feel wrong.

At work I am a windows mobile developer and develop using the compact 
framework and I can tell you that winforms on mobile devices sucks big 
time. Its impossible to create anything that look half way decent. And 
if you want to do anything remotely modern looking you have to drop into 
native libraries using pinvoke.

So no thank you to the win forms but yes please to mono on android. 
Something on par with the iphone support would be great.
