monodroid

Java was never my forte, I did some Java swing apps in college for academic purposes, and that was it, so I was kind of hesitant to try out Android development, I started off from this site http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html
Now there is this android development in .Net with C# :) http://monodroid.net/
and yes it can be done right from VS 2010 see here http://monodroid.net/Tutorials/Hello_World The thing is the process starts off with installing Android SDK and configuring a simulator and install the plugin see here http://monodroid.net/Installation

Mono for Android also offers the following:
  • The same OpenTK library popular among .NET developers on Windows, Linux, iPhone, allowing you to share the same OpenGL logic across platforms.
  • Support for the full JIT (unlike iOS)
  • Templates for C# (but other .NET compilers should work, if they reference MonoDroid's libraries).
  • Last, but certainly not least, MonoDroid is now supported on Mac OS X.
