John, mine is different in places. I come from the bowels of j2me and Symbian development..even have source code ina dev tol that Nokia, IBM, SonyEricsson, and etc use..
My outlook is that its too expensive to port among mobile platforms both in time and money. Thus, my new direction is to develop mobile hybrid apps that use web code asa base but behave like native apps and can access GPS and etc using javascript.. The current framework I use is QuickConnect but I also play with PhoneGap.. The reason I choose Android first is lower dev out of pocket expenses and almost free-reign on app approval On Jan 22, 9:18 am, Jon Smith <work.jonsm...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Thanks a lot, > > Can anyone else add to this?
