Mobile dev: times & OS changes

For those who develop mobile solutions, times are changing and platforms too.

iPhone provokes a gold rush for Apple developers; its a shame that those policies that limit Flash, Java & other apps that needs a VM or a runtime are kept left.

Microsoft is burning its ships and betting to their new OS Win phone 7; in the VS 2010 no mobile develoment is provided and they are promising a bundle to support development for the new platform.

And the new kid in town, Android, is the one that shakes the market. With smartphones, tablets and other devices targeted, and an open source support this may be the way.

Time will tell.
