I am a web developer and thus I code in xhtml, css, php, sql databases, etc. I want to create an app for a few sites which interact with my website. However, I have absolutely no knowledge of software programming (ie: C) and don't own a mac.
I have come across phonegap.com which appears to allow people like me to create these apps without any further know-how with software programming.
Before I jump in and start using there solution, I was wondering if anyone else knew any other development tools which might help be develop iphone, ipad and android apps?
It's key that I can access some way to upload files from the device.
Thanks!
there are many other frameworks
like appcelerator
but phonegap is best one I had found yet
, you can go with it, because,
supports many device. I had use it for android, iPhone and now I'm using for BB too.
you can write the HTML/CSS code as you like or choose any framework like jQueryMobile, sencha, jQtouch etc, which you cannot in appcelerator.
I suggest you to go with PhoneGap.
other thing, is for creating iPhone app, you need Apple computer (intel base) . it is necessary for any framework

I'm looking for an iphone friendly feedback service that can be visited by web browser in my iphone application
I have been checked uservoice and getsatifaction, they are only for desktop browsing, not friendly for iphone
Crittercism (http://www.crittercism.com) also has a great product optimized for iphone/ipad and android. They also do crash reporting which is nice.
Zendesk http://www.zendesk.com/ is more for customer service but works great in iphones (and blackberry etc)
Neewmare (www.neemware.com) provides app developers the ability to ask very targeted questions inside their app on any screen. You could check it out. (Disclaimer: I work at Neemware.)
We have a native iOS feedback form that you can link with your iphone app.
For more info: Adding Feedback To Your iPhone App
The page also has a link to our free app in the AppStore that shows the feedback form in action.
Our service also provides a feedback button and feedback form for websites and WordPress blogs.
Get Satisfaction does have a great iPhone client framework. It's called Satisfaction Remote Component. If you want to see it live, check out the app Ambiance

Question 1
I want to make IPhone application that uses OpenID for authentication. I have found janrain described here :
http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/05/janrain-openid-iphone-apps/ this is exactly what I want! However is commercial licenced is there any open source/free alternatives?
Question 2
I also want to later make Android , Windows Mobile , etc versions of my applicaion. To save making multiple application I thought I can make 80% of my application in HTML the other 20% needs a GPS so would need to be an iPhone app. Is it possible to make an IPhone application that some of its screens are really web pages? I do not want to open Safari I just want to embed HTML directly into an application so the user would still think they are just in the application still?
I found I can use a HTML/CSS/Javascript solution to develop my App.
And still have access to the GPS etc.
Using http://www.phonegap.com/ and http://jqtouch.com/ etc
This should mean I can use regular OpenID or yahoos mobile phone optimised version here
http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2009/10/yahoo_openid_an/ so I can keep my solution 100% web based.

How can I start developing a simple APP on iphone??
Start with these previous answers on SO:
Getting started with iphone dev
How to articles for iphone dev
Best book/article to learn iphone dev
Buy a Mac, install XCode, then go to IPhone tutorial blogs to learn. That should be it.
In my experience you are better off reading a book than browsing blogs when starting to learn a new technology from scratch.
Therefore my recommendation would be to buy a Mac, install XCode, then buy a decent book on IPhone programming.
Consider making an web-app instead. It's 80 percent of the functionality of an real app with 20 percent the effort for anyone new to iOS.
If you want to learn iOS then buy a Mac, install xCode and go with the flow. Watch Stanfords CS193P course on iTunes and do the assignments as a start.

I'm interested in learning about what additional features and APIs an app has access to when an iPhone is jailbroken. Can someone provide me with some basic resources to learn about this? I would be most interested in:
documentation on the private APIs
filesystem layout
app configuration, e.g. how did WinterBoard replace SpringBoard? Apps that replace the lockscreen?
tools needed
Suggestions appreciated.
Very good question. I've personally spend quite a bit of time on trying to find documentation on the private APIs, and even though I'm pretty sure I've come across it some time ago, right now I can't really find it anymore. However, I do have some answers to your questions. Let me share what I have so far:
Filesystem layout
An old, but still mostly true guide on filesystem layout.
"Replacing" apps
I think most of the "hijacking" of original iPhone apps is based on catching and re-implementing objective-c messages through posing and comparable techniques. A good guide on this is available here. I'm note entirely sure that this is the mechanism at work though.
Tools
A toolchain for iphone dev is available on google code. See this guide for info on how to install it.
See this guide for info on how to use the default apple Xcode environment for development on a jailbroken phone.
This is the best thing I'v found on the subject so far :
Jailbroken Development : Starter Pack

I want develop on Android and iPhone...
How Platform can i use?
Phonegap and Titanium Appcelerator both provide platforms where you can develop for both Android and iPhone in the same application without using different languages, just using one JavaScript API.
Native iPhone apps are written in Objective-C and Android's in Java. You can use either of the JS alternatives mentioned earlier, on any platform: unix, or microsoft.
Should you want to build a native iPhone app, people tend to use xcode on OSX.
An intel based Mac,
You need a mac to develop iPone apps, no other choice unless you want to target jail broken phones
The Mac is also supported development
environment for android
It depends on what you mean by platform. You will need at least a Mac Mini (Intel Mac) to develop for the iPhone if you're asking about hardware requirements.
Mono/C# + MonoDevelop fits the bill software wise for writing the code once and (with tweaks) getting it to work on multiple platforms. See this related response.
