Actually, I'm pretty solidly opposed to writing native applications for iOS. If an application requires cross-platform support, I'll stick with a browser-based technique (like the PhoneGap technology Henrik spoke of). But if I need to take advantage of the native hardware, I'll write it for Android. I personally don't want to waste any time on jumping through Apple's hoops. That's MY New Year's Resolution :).

Hi Joe

I kind of guessed your response but this is not a war about programming languages as by now we have all learned to speak quite a few.

Clearly the platform is a commercial battle and if you are going to have a successful app it will have to support all.

So no more one is better than all the others, another new year resolution!

Kind Regards

Yeah, I tried that. I got as far as getting Leopard to boot in a VM,
just to see if it could be done. But in the end I couldn't get past a
couple of hurdles. First was the fact that I would have to learn
Objective-C. I really have no desire to re-learn Smalltalk. But the
real kicker was that I would have to pay Apple for the privilege of
running an application that I wrote on a device that I own.

Good luck to you on your endeavors!

Joe
