Multimobile Development: Building Applications for any Smartphone are essential books for software developers looking to build applications that run natively on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry. I'll take you step-by-step through the process of building the same application on each, learning the differences between and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each platform as we go. No magic intermediate layers of obfuscation - by the time you get to the end you'll be an expert at developing for any of the major smartphone platforms using each vendor's preferred toolset and approach.

Presented in two parts, Part 1 takes you through iOS, MonoTouch and Android, Part 2 takes you through Windows Phone 7, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.
