[Charlug] phone programming advice

[Tim Jowers]

Anyone know the best resources for phone programming? I know Android
runs on Linux but you program in Java. I think Blackberry is also in
Java. How about Samsung? (the market leader in the USA). Or Nokia
(market leader worldwide). Someone else told me just to program in
Mono and it can be ported to all platforms. Anyone know about that?
Right now I'm programming Android on Fedora 8 and 10 in Eclipse and it
works very well except for the 30 seconds or so to start the emulator.

I'm thinking about taking this iPhone boot camp course:
http://iphoneclt.eventbrite.com/ but it just seems like too many
platforms to try to target. It says "The iPhone Development
Accelerator (IDA) course is specifically designed to take you from
zero to a working application as quickly as possible. " but what I
really need is some course that tells me how to write once and run
everywhere. Even Java cannot do it as it has different UI libraries on
each phone from what I can tell.

Anyone know what is the best approach? The mono thing? Is everyone
just making separate apps for every single phone?

Thanks!
