Targeting android, with TX on the horizon possibly?

Hey I was thinking it would be great to see TorqueX target android. What brought this to mind is looking at the code for "Replica Island" on google code, and youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Bk5rmIpic You can see his component object model at 19:19 is very similar to the TorqueX component object model. Also of course, I always try and use a component object model when working with my own code, since TX came out 3 years ago, and I learned of its power. It would be great to get official GG support for android products.. I love all the products, and the book is great. 3.1 looks awesome.

    You could completely rewrite TX to remove the XNA bindings and port it to Mono and then to the Android. It would be a lot of work, though.

    I would be interested in doing that, but its getting late in the semester, maybe for the summer.

    I would be very interested in developing Torque for Android, I think most phones will be moving that way simply because of the ease of the OS.

    I have a Google Ion, which is a MyTouch 3g developer version. Targeting the android would branch out torque in a huge way.

    Well if this does start, I hope I can be at least be an intern for it. I wonder if they would do their own rendering engine again, or use open GL surface view.
