Well I thought it may make an interesting discussion since there isn't much 
else going on around here.

The android OS has become quite a big player in the booming smartphone 
sector. I think most C++ programmers would be interested in what the C++ 
languages' role is in this OS.
AFAICT there is not a not much support for C++ at application level , other 
than through JNI. It would be interesting to see how C++ is being used in 
lower level devopment with this OS.

Anyways regards the neogfx thing , I don't see why you have chosen to make 
this GUI library compatable with two incompatable OS's. If you were 
targetting windows(CE) and android , I could see a connection. Anyways there 
is already a Graphics library on both windows and android and that is OpenGL 
but on android OpenGL is exposed as a Java interface as opposed to windows 
where it's exposed as a C++ API.
