Just a little more info - it remains a possibility, but it is an unlikely one, for a couple reasons:
- Pivot uses Java2D for rendering, whereas Android uses a custom 2D library called SGL. - Android is optimized for delivering user experiences on a mobile device whereas Pivot is designed for building RIA/desktop apps. The user interaction models are not quite the same. It is likely that attempting to build a mobile app using Pivot would produce a sub-par user experience when compared to a mobile app built using the Android or iPhone SDK. However, since both Android and Pivot are Java based, there is a good chance that quite a bit of non-UI specific code could be shared between an Android app and a Pivot app. Hope this helps.
