I need to embed an silverlight or flash component in an iphone native application.
Can anyone tell me the compatibility for both in an iphone application.
Apple does not support flash on iPhones. I have a hard time believing that they would support Silverlight.
No compatibility for either.
Novell offers MonoTouch which will allow .NET code to be cross-compiled for the iPhone. Silverlight compatibility is on the roadmap

MonoTouch is a commercial product that will allow you to use C# to target iOS devices.
The only thing available in this ilk for iPhone is MonoTouch.
our application is web integrated with mobile application.
develop web application in .net and mobile applications in iphone,android,blackberry,windows mobiles.
Now my requirement is i need to provide chat provision between web application and mobile application.
i found xmpp framework but i don't know xmpp supports in all mobile platforms.while i am checking xmpp does't support for iphone 3.0 simulator while i am executing the same framework it works with out any errors in iphone 4.0.
experts can any one suggest solution for my problem which is the most efficient framework that supports as my requirement.
thank you very much
If you mean groups.google.com/group/xmppframework
If most recent versions no longer support 3.0 you can go back to an older version which I know supported 3.0 (I used it to build a chat app for iPhone and Android), xmpp v2 perhaps. Or fix the lib to support 3.0 again, its a pretty simple library.
Google Talk uses XMPP so any mobile device supporting Google Talk will work including:
Android, BlackBerry, iPhone.
As i am going to develop mobile web app for all devices. My question is, if the browser is not support html5 kind of stuff, Whether Sencha will support HTML4?
Thanks in advance,

[sencha person] #Sri. Sencha Touch works on Android 2.1 and Apple iOS ONLY for release 1.0, and will be supporting RIM, Nokia etc. devices as they add modern browsers to their phones that can support javascript and CSS at reasonable performance and correctness.
[Update: We've tested the new RIM Blackberry Torch, and will be adding it to our support list - probably in release 1.1]
A majority of existing phones (Nokia featurephones etc.) are not capable of running a web application because they lack javascript performance, CSS support and even full HTML capabilities. In our (opinionated) view, the only phones (today) that can support a proper web app experience are Android 2.1+ and Apple iOS.
Well, I cannot give a definitive answer, but given that ExtJS (the name until recently) still supports Internet Explorer 6, I'd guess so. They are double-licensed as GPL + proprietary license, so cannot just drop support for something outdated since that would piss some/many paying customers.
Am looking into developing an iPhone native app using Titanium Developer
Since this is still in beta, I am wondering if there are any better options and/or if its a good idea using such software to develop native apps (which are not games; not graphic intensive)
If you don't want to wait, you can do what a lot of us did: develop apps in Cocoa Touch. It works perfectly well for games as well as non-graphic intensive apps.
The similar and more mature PhoneGap framework has been used in a number of iPhone apps and Apple only seems to object if the application autoupdates.
That being said, I wouldn't recommend using web frameworks unless your application is really simple--you will get a much better experience from a native application (on both Android and iPhone)
My company uses Titanium and it's working fine so far. It's also a pleasure to develop iPhone app using javascript and co. I'd recomend you give it a try, it's really simple to set up and start coding.

Exists an universal phone developement language?
I mean, for example, php or java or whatever
Edit : We have to develop a few phone applicatons, and we are looking for the best reusable language in differents devices (Blackberry, iPhone, Motorola, etc)
Java is as close as you'll come, but it's no where near universal (iPhone doesn't support it!)
Since iPhone's language isn't used by anything else either, it's pretty much a given that you won't find a universal solution.
Rhodes by Rhomobile is a Ruby framework for building cross-platform phone applications. It allows you to build a single application that works on all major smartphones: iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android. (The only obvious omissions seem to be OpenMoko and PalmOS/webOS, but all the phones you listed are supported.)
The way Rhodes works, is that you write your application in Ruby and your UI in HTML. A Ruby implementation, the Rhodes framework itself, your application scripts and your HTML files then get packaged up into what looks to the phone's operating system like a single native application. Rhodes then runs a webserver inside of the phone and serves the application from there, using the phone's builtin web browser UI component and a JavaScript UI library for making the web app look like a native app. (E.g. iUI for the iPhone.)
There was a nice introduction to Rhodes (with live coding) by the Rhomobile CEO at the Mountain West RubyConf 2009, the video is available at the Confreaks website.
Java (more specifically J2ME) will work on most phones. Googles Android and Blackberry development involves Java too. On Symbian-phones you can develop in C and there is an interpreter for python. If you are aiming for the iPhone market you have to stick to Objective-C and the Cocoa Touch framework.
There is no universal language, nor universal runtime that is supported by all of the major platforms. Two major players are Java on J2ME, BlackBerry and Android devices and Objective-C on the iPhone.
You might want to check out Symbian phone OS, it is intended as a common OS originally a joint collaboration between Nokia, Motorla and Ericsson. see: www.symbian.org/index.php
HTML + Javascript + CSS
PhoneGap!
It is the only cross platform mobile framework that I know of. Has feature support for iPhone, Android and Blackberry

Well!!! Most of the phones support java. What are you trying to do? Learn a new language?
Java is probably the closest you're going to find.
Even if you can do it, what good does it do to write a mediocre application that doesn't really take full advantage of whatever device it is on?
Bite the bullet and choose to do great implementations on a selected subset of mobile platforms.
