Hello, At work, 3 people spent more about 18 months developing mobile versions of two of our applications (SCADAs).
They tried everything: pure HTML5 (with a variety of third party widgets: Kendo UI, ExtJS, etc), hybrid (PhoneGap), Unity, Mono, Delphi (yes, seriously) and even some more I cannot remember now. In the end, Qt offers the best combination of portability (available for desktop, smartphone and tablet), performance, RAD (there are widgets and Qt Quick; Unity had almost nothing) and ease of development.
