about python on mobile, and making it run on the NDK. Checkout kivy.org, it's a nextgen UI framework with pure opengl ES and multi-touch support from the ground up. It's pretty fast, especially since the core parts are written in C and it uses a sort of JIT graphics compiler.

It runs on win/osx/linux as well as iOS and android. In fact through the android-for-python project (github.com/kivy), it does pretty much exactly what the author talks about in terms of making it run on the NDK. There is also the pyJNIus project to go along with it in order to call java code and sdk directly.

python on mobile really is an option, and it lets you write cross platform apps in a very nice manner.
