Certainly, but this is a Java forum and within Java, platform interoperability (embracing your surroundings) is seen as a danger to the agenda of OS interoperability (this is what you get, no more and no less). I am sure that some Android guys for instance look a little jealous over at MonoDroid and the ease of which they move between the two worlds. Case of point; Google appears to have had to invent a whole new external DSL for doing 3D development, called RenderScript.
