[Monodroid] Other Android Mono ports

[Matthew Groves]

I was giving a MonoDroid talk recently, and a question came up about other
implementations of Mono on Android.  I did some Googling around, and there
appears to be a couple (not nearly as polished or well-supported as
MonoDroid of course).

The question was: "what's to stop me from using one of those or doing my own
Mono-on-Android implementation"?  Essentially, do I *have* to use MonoDroid
to use Mono on Android.  I didn't really have a good answer.

My sense is that there really isn't anything stopping it, per se, but that
MonoDroid is going to be the most supported, most well-maintained, and most
popular implementation.  However, I guess I don't know enough about the Mono
Project and creating development platforms for the Android operating system
to formulate a good answer.  Are 'competing' implementations a concern to
you guys? Potentially disruptive or distractive?

I would love to hear some thoughts on this, in case I get the question
again.

Thanks,

Matt
