Write once deploy on Windows Mobile 6, Windows Phone 7, Android and iPhone? [closed]

Answer 1

well if you've got a mac, your best bet would be to go for phonegap which supports a wide range of platforms,

if not, you could go for titanium

Answer 2

If you're happy to re-use business logic and write device specific user interfaces (more work, but better user experience on each device) you could consider the various Mono frameworks.

Writing the core business logic as a class library, then writing specific user interfaces using MonoTouch, MonoDroid and Windows using .NET Framework you'll have a cross platform application (albeit with individual UIs) in C#.

Answer 3

have you checked out Titanium at http://www.appcelerator.com

And then there is the PhoneGap at http://www.phonegap.com/

Answer 4

Titanium Mobile is a popular choice these days.

I strongly doubt that you'll find a C# option* that's cross-platform since C# is tied to the Microsoft stack.

You could also just write a mobile-centric webapp with jQuery Mobile or similar.

_{*For mobile. For desktop, there's Mono (whose site appears to be down right now).}

Answer 5

Worth noting that you'd be writing once for the PLATFORM, but being certain that your app works on the DEVICES is a different kettle of fish due to the variety of handset providers, their customized platform implementations and the hardware specific to the device.
