This was first reported almost a month ago but has finally been adopted and is in development.

MonoDroid which is currently under development will allow not only openMobile to be ported to android as a fully native application (linking to androids libraries) but allow dozens of managed applications to be ported to the platform as well.

My droid just wiggled in my pocket... it does that when it's happy...

EDIT: In all honety, i'd be happier with the opposite news.. that google maps w/ navigation was ported to windows.. :-)

+1 - But with downloadable maps so we don't need a connecton 24x7

That would be really nice but unfortunately isn't gonna happen. I've talked with google employees in the past and they have no interest in bringing navigation to a platform with little financial incentive for them. Same thing goes for downloadable maps....you can cache a little bit but google doesn't use compression with its maps so downloading anything useful isn't really feasible.
