Mobile... so hot right now • Lots of good competition in the mobile space • Multiple successful smartphone platforms • 500,000+ iPads sold • More on the way! 4

Which is great and exciting! 5

Only how do we build compelling apps for all these platforms? 6

The Web Is An Option • And a darn good one... • But as fast as mobile web browsers are progressing, there are still limitations • Native apps are inherently more capable and leverage platform features • Performance is especially critical on resource- constrained devices 7

Okay, so we build native! But that has issues, too... 8

Even if you’re a guru... No matter how awesome your Objective-C or Java skills are, you’re still looking at maintaining N codebases for N platforms. This costs lots of time. Time === $$$ 9

And if you aren’t a guru... Well - good luck with that... 10
