It only takes $15000 to develop a mobile application that can be ported from iPhone to Android and back. Both iPhone and Android have webkit implemented with a javascript bridge written in native code, iPhone its Object C and Android its java. Thus, the small portion that we have to port is the event class, eventManger, and etc that makes an event que stack and polling that grabs the OS and user events to make them accessible to the embedded webkit view via javascript.
Both Apple and Google use this javascript bridge and event class techniques to integrate in their own mobile applications. However, Apple and Google have not ported those applications across to each other platforms using this technique of keeping the UI and application logic as ajax/html and only the eventManager and event polling classes as native.
Any mobile platform whereas the browser is allowed to be embedded as native class and has the same javascript bridge technology will also allow us to re-use this technique. This means any mobile application targeting both Android and iPhone can be reduced to $15000 with the proper use of Google an d3rd party clouds to reduce and eliminate the need for heavy server side infrastructures.
