message: Mophun (http://www.mophun.com) is another C-based development environment for mobile phones. The runtime environment was prepackaged in some older phones, but for more modern phones it has to be downloaded separately.
Also (and maybe this disqualifies me?), I'm developing the Cibyl (http://spel.bth.se/index.php/Cibyl) which is a C-based programming environment for J2ME devices which recompiles MIPS binaries into Java bytecode, and Lessphun (http://spel.bth.se/index.php/Lessphun) which is an implementation of the Mophun API for Cibyl. Both are GPL/LGPL free software.

message: Mobile development technologies are hot and the market is fragmented. This means the tables need to show lots of rows at this point until the long term winning platforms are sorted out in the marketplace. At this point, though, this page is missing two important mobile development platforms for iPhone, Android and other devices. What's more, they enable people with Web Development/JavaScript skills to break onto these platforms. Each product is very different. 
Appcelerator Titanium (http://www.appcelerator.com) creates full on apps using the native UI and local functionality such as geolocation, filesystem and the accelerometer. 
PhoneGap (http://www.nitobi.com) lets Javascript developers easily snap off their web-based app pages to take advantage of local operation of phones. 
Admittedly I'm more familiar with Appcelerator Titanium and am comfortable adding it to the table. Should I go for it? Does someone have PhoneGap knowledge to contribute? Freedman1 (talk) 20 November 2009  —Preceding undated comment added 20:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

The lists are either interchangeable or very different from eachother. Sencha Touch is included in both (I havent checked all entries) but I feel this article would be a lot better with a merged list.
I'm just not sure what the criteria would be. There's a distinction between web-based frameworks and cross-platform frameworks in general but its kinda shuffled across these 2 articles

message: Types of Mobile Apps 
There are mainly three kinds of apps- Native, Hybrid and Web-based.
# Native Apps 
All Apps targeted towards particular mobile platforms are known as Native apps. Therefore, an App meant for Apple will never open in Android devices. This is why most businesses develop apps for multiple platforms. 
While developing native apps, professionals incorporate best-in-class user interface modules. This accounts for better performance, consistency and good user experience. Users also benefit from wider access to Apps Program Interfaces (APIs) and make limitless use of all Apps from the particular device. Further, they also switch over from one app to another effortlessly.
The main purpose behind creating such apps is to ensure best performance for specific mobile operating system.
# Hybrid Apps
Concept of Hybrid Apps is a mix of native and web-based apps. Apps developed using Xamarin, Angular Mobile, React Native, Sencha Touch, Iconic and other similar technology fall within this category.
These are made to support web and native technologies across multiple platforms, hence the name hybrid. Moreover, these apps are easier and faster to develop. It involves use of single code which works in multiple mobile operating systems.
Despite such advantages, hybrid apps are slower in speed and performance. Often, apps fail to bear the same look n feel in different mobile operating systems.
# Web-Based Apps 
These Apps are coded in HTML 5, CSS or JavaScript. Presence of strong internet connection is required for proper behavior and user-experience of this group of Apps. 
By default, these Apps captures minimum memory space in the user devices compared to Native and Hybrid Apps. Since all the personal databases are saved on the Internet servers, users can fetch their desired data from any device through internet.
The only con is that app developers don’t get sufficient access to mobile operating system API.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Altafhsayyed (talk • contribs) 12:41, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Mobile app development price
The price of mobile app development is influenced by several factors. One of the most important is the demanding features of the mobile application itself. Simple mobile applications can move in lower hundreds of thousands of euro. In the case of a complex mobile application, the development of such a mobile application can be up to millions of euro.

message: Hybrid App Development
Hybrid app development is basically a combination of both native app development and web app development. Web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and HTML are used to write the core of the application and a native app is used for encapsulation. In today’s scenario, the need for hybrid app development has increased tremendously due to the fact that many apps are being launched day by day into the market which is of diverse nature. The need to cater to both android and iOS users is a vital reason for the boom of hybrid app development. Also, since hybrid app development has a common code base and takes the shorted time to develop, hybrid app development has an upper hand.
When analyzing the importance of hybrid app vs native app development, it is clear that both have their own pros and cons. Adopting a hybrid app development process comes in handy due to the fact that it is easier to develop and run one app project across diverse platforms like iOS, Android, Windows, etc. Hybrid app development provides consistency in UI across multiple platforms in a cost-effective manner. Among the list of hybrid app development frameworks, React Native tops the list. The other hybrid app development frameworks are Flutter, Xamarin, Mobile Angular UI, Ionic, Corona SDK, etc. Siamcomputing (talk) 06:22, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
