I don't think that Lazarus is a bad choice for smartphone platforms,
it would be a great tool for targetting Android and iPhone at the same
time. The only issue is that we lack developers.
MonoTouch does the same thing Lazarus intends to do, but they are more
successful because they have money.
Yes. And we have neither the interested developers nor fulltimers to be
quick enough to track fastmoving targets, which was mostly my point.
A side concern is the walled garden concept of many mobile phones. They
don't exactly encourage portable software, but want custom made apps for
their phones, preferably with their recommended tools.
Hence the conclusion: a web application is probably the best way to go when
developing business apps for the mobile.
(at least, that's what we concluded here at work).
For one of our customers we have started to develop a mobile version of
our application (around one and a half year ago) and there the
restriction is: no online connection. So we're using a "synchronize
scenario" with a LCL application (Windows Mobile 5 & 6).

Sven
