[OSM-dev] "Opentrail" - What development environments would be best for mobile compatibility?

Hello everyone,

Regarding the "OpenTrail" OSM walking/hiking software idea that I'd like 
to develop given enough time (see earlier in the week), I'd like to ensure 
it's compatible with phones and other mobile devices. This will probably 
influence what language it's written in - my initial ideas are either 
C++(Qt), Java or C# (could share code with Igor in the last case). 

>From what I know of mobile development, C# means it could run on Windows 
phones but maybe not others, Java works across the board and C++/Qt would 
restrict it to Qtopia-based phones. Is this about right? Can anyone with 
mobile development experience provide recommendations?

Thanks,
Nick
