What mobile platform should I start learning? [closed]

Answer 1

You could also look at the web apps path:

• XHTML Mobile Profile / XHTML Basic, to get access to any WAP 2.0 phone browser (all smartphones, most data-aware phones). Best look at the dotMobile mobile developer's guide.
• Traditional web development with progressive enhancement, optimized to small screens, to target current smartphone platforms.

It's a trade-off between the ability of the native SDKs and the ubiquity of the browser platform. I know a lot of developers dismiss web apps out of hand as too weak, but the platform has definitely grown and is worth investigating. Old assumptions like "it can't go offline" or "it can't access local data" are not necessarily true anymore.

Answer 3

I don't really like Symbian. Popularity and ease makes iPhone perfect.

I also heard Android it's a cool platform to develop, but I haven't try it myself and it's not so popular yet.

Answer 4

Now that Safari supports advanced features like GPS location via JavaScript, the best thing to get into is standards-compliant web app development. This way, you can ensure easy updates and compatibility for multiple devices from a single code-base.

Answer 5

Android

Linux kernel. The SDK is low-cost (free). Java is a considerably popular language.

Answer 6

Apple really has done a Microsoft in creating an application platform that will lock in customers for years. There are several apps that I would have a tough time giving up at this point.

I was making a similar choice, and ended up making the investment to go with the iPhone. The benefit has been that I really like the Mac - this is my first, and developing has been a lot of fun. I'm not looking to sell to the masses though, I am writing applications that support businesses with mobile content. Android would be my second choice, and I wouldn't even consider WM or Symbian.
