[mono-android] [Monodroid] Other Android Mono ports

[Wally McClure]

Personally, I'm loving what you guys are putting out.  I'm not sure I've ever seen a Symbian device, so I'm not missing anything.  
 
I realize you guys havn't asked, but I'd love to vote for Mono for Blackberry.  Everytime I hear that they are dead and just don't know it, I see RIM's marketshare amongst smartphones and their hold in the corporate market and they do seem to be holding on there.  Of course, I also realize that they have never done a good job with their development efforts and they are continually changing.  I also recognize that blackbery market share has been trending down and that picking a bad platofrm to put mono on can mean that you are throwing money away.
