Once bitten, twice shy -- and so I highly doubt that Google would switch from Java to .NET. It will be supported through MonoDroid, but Google itself will no doubt already be working on support for a different language that does not have the same risks as Java, .NET, etc.

Doesn't Google use python quite a bit? Are there any good python implementations that use VMs?

  The problem is the VM, not the language. Simply switching languages won't make a difference to the legal case if the underlying VM still infringes on the patents.

    Do you know if anyone has written up a good summary of those patents?

Google itself will no doubt already be working on support for a different language that does not have the same risks as Java, .NET Much like how MS made their own language when sun sued them over Java? How the wheel turns.
