No. The .apk file is a ZIP package that can contain native shared libraries, 
and libmonodroid.so is a native shared library. Just because it's a .apk does 
not mean it's cross platform (just as being Java does not make it 
cross-platform; see also `native` methods and the fact that `android.jar` 
doesn't run elsewhere yet ;-)

Not at this time.

Maybe. :-)

It's being looked into. I can't promise anything at this point in time.

I'm sure it'll be there eventually, it's just not there yet.

As for Xamarin priorities, getting 2.0 out the door with support for Android 
v4.0 is our highest priority. After 2.0 is out, lots of things are under 
investigation.
