People of Earth:

This is nonsense.

Objective C is a fantastic language. Appcelerator Titanium, PhoneGap - it's all crap. Customers can feel the difference.

To make a native app, learn a native language.

Really wish the Flash devs I worked with thought this way.

"Oh I've been looking into PhoneGap, it's pretty cool"

"Oh I've been learning Android development"

WHY???? When has a client even asked us to make an Android app.

While iOS devices are pretty up to date, phonegap/flash/titanium/corona are actually pretty nice on android when you have 15 different operating system versions all seemeingly evenly deployed on the market
