Yes! This is so obvious to me. Why would they even bother with MacRuby if this wasn't the future of iOS development? What would bring more developers to iOS than a rapidly growing language that you can learn and apply to multiple platforms, and also to arguably the best web development environment out there? Objective C's message-passing is extremely compatible with Ruby. A high-performance, pre-installed, officially-supported Ruby implementation would be a huge edge over the drudgery of Java on the Android platform!
Yes, I am aware of Ruboto, but there is going to have to be some serious wrapping of the very extensive Android APIs to make them palatable to Ruby developers.
