I wonder that sometimes too, considering it's only two people 
working on them.

I can't speak for Dan, who's been getting iOS working, but I just 
got Android/ARM running a week ago, so it's too early to put out 
builds.  However, it wouldn't take much time to try out the 
Android/x86 support from source, since the build process is 
documented on the wiki:

No idea.

Seems like 2-3 regulars.

GDC appears to have some support for Android, though it's not 
clear how much of phobos works:
