Top notch mobile app development platform, but does not support platforms other than Macintosh.
Pros: - A large number of tutorials, websites, etc. are available on the web for developing based on iOS SDK (XCode) - Applications developed through XCode are highly secure and stable - Out of the box support for OpenGLES 2.0 makes it very easy for game developers - One of the differentiating …

Good for a small applications, but not so good when the complexity of the application is high.
Pros: * One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X). * Single code base for mutli platforms so that managing an application becomes easier. * It is open source. * Offers flexibility as it using …

Open source, flexible, and Java is a great combo, but the end the application is what matters and the application rendering is a bit slower in my personal experiences.
Pros: * There are number of external libraries available which are very helpful in development. * Access to all the native functions of the phone like external storage, contacts, camera, call logs, connectivity, recorder, etc. * SDK has multi platform support, as development language is Java …

An Excellent platform to deploy your web app to all mobile app stores.
Pros: * HTML5 app platform using standard web technologies. * PhoneGap is basically a native wrapper of a web app. * Provides a bridge between JavaScript and native device APIs, meaning that a web app written in javascript will have the ability to access your device's native features such as ca …

Best mobile application framework for an enterprise application containing a large number of views with lots of components, but a little sluggish performance on android platforms.
Pros: * It's a HTML5 mobile application framework. To be more specific, it's a combination of HTML+ CSS and JavaScript. * Pure JavaScript API. * Optimized for mobile. * MVC structure support. * Easier to port to other platforms (platforms like iOS, Android and BlackBerry). 90 - 95% of cod …

Google has excellent platform support for their developers.
Pros: As I wrote in my previous review of the iOS SDK, my major problem was lack of alternative platform support. The Android SDK does NOT have that problem at all, as it's available for most major platforms to date. The IDE is easy to use and has a ton of API's that allow you to tie into Google' …

XCode is a useful tool, but should be multiplatform.
Pros: The iOS SDK is well documented, and generally allows for relatively easy creation of stable applications within the iOS ecosystem. Compatibility across devices is ensured because there is no fragmentation in the iOS ecosystem, except for between iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch apps, but there ar …
