Can Android apps communicate with WP7 ones?

I was wondering if it's possible to make an app on android communicate with one on Windows Phone 7, or if there's even a way to develop apps for both platforms in the same language.

It is possible to share some(!) code of the business layer logic.

There is a mono framework for android and iphone. You can use it to write code in C# for both devices.

However, the UI is device-dependent, so that cannot be shared.

The best way would likely be communicating via a web server to pass the data too and from each device. It depends on what you intend to pass between them though.

A lot of quick and dirty ways now to develop apps for cross-platform is to use a mini-browser windows that simply points to a URL with no toolbars such as m.example.com.

Developing your "app" site in HTML5 allows a lot of possibilities to open up as far as what you can do from there. This gives you the opportunity to work a lot with cross-platform databases and dynamic data as well.
