Always remember that when you need a broad comparison of a field, Wikipedia might have it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_application_development http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_application_development I've played with many of these Frameworks, just to have a comprehensive unbiased opinion. I also used the pure Android/iOS SDKs too. My suggestion would be to use the pure Android & iOS SDKs to learn. Then use the Airplay SDK ($$), which covers all Smartphones. (<they offer free education licenses) By the way: You can circumvent the slow Android emulator by using an Android Virtual Machine http://www.android-x86.org/ http://www.android-x86.org/ or the latest AVD Platform target, which supports "snapshots".
