 You might take a look at Kivy .... 
 http://kivy.org/
 "It is built with Cython ( C extensions for Python ) 
 and, in order to create apps, Python knowledge 
 is required.
 The platforms currently supported are Linux, Windows, 
 Mac OS X and Android."
 The gallery is impressive ....

 I have very limited experience with Kivy
 using Debian Linux as the development platform
 and installing a couple of simple demo apps 
 on an ArchOS tablet running Android ICS ....
 Back at the first of this month I had problems
 trying to build android packages using 
 the newest versions of the android sdk / ndk packages 
 on Debian .... 
 Advice at the time was to drop back a version and try again 
 or wait for kivy versioning to catch up a bit ....
