MonoDroid, which will enable deployment of .Net-based applications on Google Android phones, is in development at Novell, with a preview release planned for August, the head of the project said Monday.

The runtime project is part of Novell's Mono effort, which has been responsbile for putting Microsoft .Net-based technologies on Linux and other non-Microsoft platforms.

"[MonoDroid is] Mono running on the Android, but it's also all the APIs so you can talk to the Android APIs," said Miguel de Icaza, vice president of the developer platform at Novell and leader of Mono, in an interview at the Mix10 conference in Las Vegas. There is user demand for running .Net applications on Android, de Icaza said.
