Anyone had experience with time-saving toolkits for Mobile Development?
I've done both iOS programming for iPad/iPhone and Android programming. All in the native platforms - Objective-C for iOS and Java for Android. Conversion between the two is much easier than porting to basic or an other non-C-derived language, but still takes no small amount of effort.There are toolkits that claim to make the development and porting much easier.

HowStuffWorks "How Cloud Computing Works"
In a cloud computing system, there's a significant workload shift. Local computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side decrease. The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is the cloud computing system's interface software, which can be as simple as a Web browser, and the cloud's network takes care of the rest...What cloud computing really means | Cloud Computing - InfoWorld
Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition...Cloud computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet).Eclipse DemoCamps November 2011 - Eclipsepedia
