Titanium allows developing native mobile apps using JavaScript across platforms like Android, iOS, and Blackberry. It uses a bundled JavaScript runtime and provides common native APIs for each platform. Developers can create activities, services, and notifications for Android apps similar to native development. Future plans include improving the debugger in Titanium Studio and new features in upcoming releases. A conference in September will focus on Titanium and mobile development.
