[Q] iphone android

---

I'm totally new in developing for smartphones. Today i have just read that iphone apps are written in apple own objective C and androids programming language is much easier, much compared to java stuff and i've also seen xml like examples. i known in web php and so on, java also and fundamental c. in some articles i've found about actionScript solutions which could be cross compilied for all kinds of smart phones. My question: Is it better to programm a app twice, one version for the iphone the other for android based mobiles or is their a better solution to programm one version which could be used on all os'? The most of the articles belong to 2010 or 2009. I just want to know if their is perhaps a good java solution now in 2011. everything i read about java and cross compile for iphone is even come along with problems and istore support, integration.

don't worry, some words are misspelled, i'm not native speaker.


Thanks for a short actual dev situation sum
