N810 and OpenMoko

What does the N810 and OpenMoko have in common?

• They are both small and portable and run linux.
  
• They both use Gtk+ as their native ui toolkit.
  
• They both run mono!

That is right, we are on the eve of some pretty cool happenings in the c# world. We can run our beloved c# apps on these portable Linux devices using the same high-level development environment that we have grown to love so much.

Are you ready for the revolution?

If you have an N800 or N810, check out http://www.mono-project.com/Garmono. If you aren't so inclined to build it yourself...stay tuned for an announcement on the test repository where your device can automatically install all of the mono dependencies you need!

Something to whet your whistle (The mono cairo circles sample running on an actual N810):
