Nikoli, You should be fine with Mono for Android, the main things you'll need to watch out for are "the Android way of doing things" as opposed to the "Windows Forms way of doing things". That would apply if you were using Java and Eclipse, you'd still need to learn about the different terminology and paradigms that Android has in comparison to Windows.
Mono for Android gives you access to the core Android SDK classes, things like View (read "Control" ish) and Activity (read "Form" ish) in C# to the same extent that you'd be using them from Java. In terms of signature capture, in the Windows world you're probably using things like a Control's OnMouseDown override, along with MouseEventArgs. With Mono for Android you don't have exactly the same methods or event args, but you have Android.Views.MotionEvent available within a View's OnTouchEvent and you can test for MotionEventActions.Down/Up/etc. You'll need to re-work some code but the bulk of it should carry over between the platforms. At various times over the last year or so it's been pretty painful as Mono for Android has matured, but you're lucky that's it now a stable and very powerful platform - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for cross platform C# development.

I am in the evaluation process and monodroid looks like it would be extremely helpful in porting our application to Android. I have an existing windows forms application that asks a few questions, prompts for a signature and uploads the answers to a website using a web service. A quick look at the documentation seems make all of this possible except for the signature. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
