As part of our work on the MoLE project we have been revisiting the rapidly growing number of frameworks, libraries and platforms that developers can use to create cross-platform mobile apps
If you are new to app development, you may know there is a constant debate between app developers, building “native” apps, and mobile web developers, championing “web apps”. The native app developers get better performance and integration, while the web app developers get broader reach and better standardisation
In the middle of this debate are a growing team of developers championing a hybrid of these two positions. Developing code once (like “native”) but deploying across apple / android / blackberry (like “web apps”). This is a rapidly emerging area, with a flurry of very exciting toolkits available.
To keep you up to date, we are very happy to share our recent report:

Hey Geoff,
Have you had a chance to check out Application Craft (http://www.applicationcraft.com) yet? It seems to cut right across the other platforms and frameworks your work focusses on. We have recently made a lot of changes to the website and have added a learn more chart to make our product easier to understand, that's here:
