    This might be of interest to you - http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-mobile-application-development/

    It allows you to write in Web languages I believe and turns it into iPhone and Android code.

    I'm not sure how good it is though, have never used it or read much about it.

    If its not a go'er you will have to learn objective-c for iphone development and java for Android development.

    You can get a plugin for eclipse for Android that is excellent

    Thanks for your reply...I will go through this...

    I used to work in C# & VB.NET...would objective-c be something like C#??

    How can I test the application? is there a simulator or something? can I develop on a windows PC or should I get a mac?

    for iphone development you will need a mac, i think objective-c is a good bit different to c# but not sure as i am a java developer.

    with android you get an emulator, think its the same with the iphone sdk
