take a look at this http://www.dot42.com/

NO MORE microsoft vm and dalvik vm running side by side

only one vm dalvik ,, this how ever is the best c# option for android 

i have done some test with opengl es 2.0 both in mono and dot42

dot42 is 2,4 times faster than monoandroid from http://xamarin.com/monoforandroid

allso dot42 has the new HOT renderscript support,, OpenCL on your ouya Compute layer
and for the first time er is fully hardware float point math support inside dalvik
you will allso need the tegra pack for android from nvidia ,, then you get the OpenCL ,,
there are only software support in tegra 3 ,,

    forgot to say , registrer at dot42 website,, and you can deploy direct to your ouya console

    IT IS 100% FREE TO DEVELOP GAMES , YOU WILL GET A COMMUNITY LICENS

    if your game is free and not making any moeny, you can use dot42 for free

    I thought you looked familiar, EvoFX.  Your writing style is a giveaway.

    There are pros and cons to dot42.

    Free to try.
    Very frequent release of updates recently.  That shows good progress.  It also shows it's not finished yet though.
    The Community License is good, but you cannot use any in-app purchase in your game or you violate the license.
    It only works with Visual Studio professional or higher, so it's not completely free.
    You're stuck with the Dalvik garbage collector.
    Do they still not support struct?
    Just including a JAR to use the library does not include any parameter names, and some symbols/types need to be transformed to be properly used in C#.

    Weigh up the pros and cons for dot42 and Xamarin.Android and make your choice.  Choice is a good thing.
