    Thanks Will.
    I am interested in developing for Symbian and Android.
    I have a client who needs an application on their phones with Symbian (Nokia). It is not that important, but it is necessary to do it.
    What do you recommend for developing mobile applications?
    Parallel Java with Netbeans I am studying, do you think I'm right?
    Oxygene and Free Pascal are recommended for development in Symbian and Android?

    Santiago.

    Well I can't tell you what is right or wrong for other options. That is on you and the resukting app you make for the device you are working on. If it works and it runs well for what you are doing, then it's probably a good enough solution until you can no longer make your apps do what you need to do. That's where you go find something better.

    Well for Android, Oxygene for Java and Free Pascal definitely. As far as Symbian, I couldn't tell you. It's not as popular and thee isn't much talk here about it. The big deal for Android is of course the phones and new tablets and Free Pascal has been made to create native applications, where as Oxygene for Java is a new commercial product that will allow you to make Object Pascal apps that will compile to native Java byte code, which will work quite well on Android devices.

    I'm an iOS fan myself, but there are others who could guide you with Free Pascal. Also you can get lots of great information about Android from RemObjects. I'd personally love to see people making games with RemObject's stuff, but it's up to you to choose what is best for you to use.
