The porting roadmap is found at http://quickconnect.pbwiki.com/Porting-Roadmap

The web site is at http://quickconnect.sourceforge.net/

And it can be downloaded (version 1.1.3 or 1.5 Beta 6) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickconnect/

It is also under development for Android, Linux, Symbian, Mac, and soon Palm’s WebOS.

If you are looking at PhoneGap you should take a look at this framework as well.

Also, is it backwards compatible making it easy to convert pre-existing apps to other platforms?

From a consumer perspective, if this is done right, it could be a huge win.

The web solved the problem of cross platform app development for 90% of applications. As technologies like the canvas mature and the javascript vm’s speed up the 10% will follow. I love the commitment to Bondi out there but the fact remains that it only exists as a spec and nothing more. You can build cross platform apps on top of webkit with surprisingly good performance today with PhoneGap.

Platforms will converge when all phones have HTML5 and JavaScript and BONDI or an Android-like security framework for accessing local resources.

The need for a write once run everywhere platform is highly desired by developers but I think it is still somewhat of a pipedream.

Our cross platform run-time works on iPhone, Symbian , J2ME and Blackberry devices. I must say that the challenge is to get great responsive UI in addition to allowing a dynamic application via web technologies.

Does Ocarina translate to BlackBerry? Does Tap Tap…? Do these devices incorporate any swiping actions? So, what this platform accomplishes is creating applications that have proven to be poorly received.

Tools like this are necessary, but it seems that people are missing the point of Apple’s success. It is the combination of OS, hardware, tools, a store, and most importantly customers.

PhoneGap already appears to be gaining momentum, in delivering web apps that can access native smartphone functionality (e.g. geo location, accelerometer, etc.) via JavaScript.
