Google's Android continues to generate headlines for rapid growth in the smartphone market. MonoTouch already supports one of the industry's most popular smartphones, the Apple iPhone. Now we're working on support for Android with a beta product named MonoDroid.
MonoDroid is a software development kit that will enable developers to create Android applications utilizing code and libraries written for the Microsoft .NET development framework and easier-to-use programming languages such as C#. MonoDroid will run on any system that runs the Android SDK. It will integrate with MonoDevelop on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Additionally, on Windows it will integrate to Visual Studio (through Mono Tools for Visual Studio).
Novell is offering a beta version of MonoDroid in limited release now. This will enable users to test MonoDroid and provide feedback on the product.
Interested developers can sign up for the MonoDroid beta here.
A long time .Net/c# dev about to look into Android and MonoDroid seems perfect for me
Thanks,

Great. Been looking at Android developing using Eclipse.
Will surely love to try this framework as a substitute.
Consider me a candidate for the beta

Hi,
when will be the MonoDroid beta version released for testing?
Thanks,
Justin
We'll begin expanding the beta next week, and should add developers in weekly waves after that.
Thanks
Joseph
This VS2010 developer sure would love a crack at MonoDroid.
