What technology platform to choose for development of mobile applications?

Recently I decided to experiment with mobile applications. It has been a few years since I built my latest wireless program. Mobile technologies have moved on since then. Therefore the first step in the process is to evaluate the state of the market, identify available platforms and decide on the most suitable set of technologies.

I thought I would share my findings in a blog. The postings will be useful to those embarking upon building their first wireless application. My investigation focuses on the USA landscape hence it will be helpful primarily to developers targeting this market.

In the future postings I will share outcome of the evaluation.
