for my sins I have been making mobile apps for over 6 years, the original problems we had explaining to clients about fragmentation in J2ME was even worse as Java was sold as write once run anywhere, A similar thing now happens with iPhone OS variants where people just see it as a "iPhone app" The real skill is in explaining why this is difficult and actually how much design work needs to be undertaken to make these "simple, clean" looking apps However it has to be said there are some quick wins for mobile apps that can be achieved quickly, however something like twitterific which is probably one of the top 2% of iPhone applications the effort expended is not that surprising unfortunately
