Delphi for Android is Alive by JT
I hope this serve as a Delphi renaissance. But also
I'm skeptic due the fact of developing with Delphi
tools is too much expensive for most programmers. In
last few years, the art of developing has changed in
many ways, but the most important changes for me are
open source movements and social coding (you know:
github, google code and related). Delphi is totally
absent from this scenario. I've developed in Delphi
since version 1 and 95% of my code is written in
Delphi. My desktop apps were sold few years ago in the
€ thousand zone. Now my customers can pay just in the
€ hundred zone. Desktop is almost died. Mobile apps
cost almost zero and customers know it. I can't pay
€2000 or more for developer/year (and the nightmare of
two major Delphi updates every year, a lot of time
invested), 3th party libraries (with no TMS,
FireMonkey is almost a toy).
I humble think Embarcadero is in the right direction
by tech design but in a great mistake for the
marketing decisions. Young programmers, emergent
economies, small software shops ... are out of
Embarcadero vision. And this is bad.

I would be excited if Embarcadero had followed up on
their promises for "fast and frequent updates" to
FireMonkey to actually make it a stable, robust and rich
environment where right now it is riddled with bugs and
huge gaps in functionality.
The fact that Embarcadero is plowing forwards with
Mobile when its desktop users have been left with
Firemonkey in a virtually unusable state is a terrible
set of priorities. Make what you have actually work
before you go off and start on new things!
