Write Once, Run Anywhere Mobile Apps

Thinking of developing apps for iPhone and getting stuck because of Apple's buy-a-Mac-before-you-can-develop-for-our-iDevices policy? Relax. Enter codenameone . You write your mobile application in Java and deploy to iPhone/iPad, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone and J2ME.
What is the catch here. True native applications with lightning speed performance not HTML5 apps. Check out these links to see for yourself why facebook dumped their HTML5 apps for Android and iPhone and went back to native
Facebook doubles iPhone app speed by dumping HTML5 for native code
Facebook Android app drops HTML5 and rolls out rebuilt native app
Codename Designer lets developers create their GUIs faster. Coding logic of the the apps is truly fun. The coding style takes the pain in coding out for developers to write apps with the minimum lines of codes possible.
Have an mobile app idea? Just use Codenameone to develop it because it rocks.
