Mono for Android is basically dead. Novell was sold to Attachmate, which completed the sale at the end of April, and fired all the Mono developers in early May. This killed MonoTouch, as well.
there is quite a bit of back-story to this, so have a google around :) Miguel's blog - http://tirania.org/blog/ - is usually a good place to start. All is not lost however. Miguel and co formed Xamarin (along with Nat Friedman, who used to be the CEO of Ximian, which Novell bought ages ago and where Mono started, hence why Novell employed the Mono people in the first place!), and their goal is to create a source compatible rewrite of MonoTouch and Mono for Android (George Lucas objects to it being called MonoDroid I'm told!). Their website is here: http://www.xamarin.com So, in the mean time: 1. Don't buy MonoDroid, as Novell/Attachmate are not supporting it, even down to fixing licensing problems. If you have bought it, look into the 30 day refund or a creditcard chargeback. 2. Use the eval for the time being. Lot of people around here are working with MD, so there are still lots of people to ask about things and lots to learn. 3. When XamDroid (oh please can they release a name for this thing?) is out, buy it from Xamarin. Hope that makes some sense.
