Any app that can export qif will work.

While it is only 'available soon for android', PocketMoney 
http://www.catamount.com/ does a fine job at the one-way transfers you 
mention. It also will sync between different instances of PM (including 
desktop or multiple phones), but syncing both ways with gnucash is too 
painful for my tastes. The one way transfer does mean you'll have to get 
the file to your desktop and import it into gnucash. You won't get 
automatic injection of data into gnucash.

I've been using PM since Palm Tungsten days (now using an iPhone). One 
of the features I really like is you can set PM to only export 
transactions entered since the last time you exported. That makes it 
much easier to deal with irregularly-timed exports.

As for the 'available soon' state, Catamount has already converted two 
of their smaller apps to Android. So they're serious about supporting 
android. When they do release PM for android, at least you won't have to 
wait for the stupendously absurd approval delays Apple hands out for 
iPhone apps.
