FotMob - on all platforms

We currently have our soccer application, FotMob, on the following platforms:
- Windows Mobile 6.x
- J2ME
- WP7
- iPhone (under review by Apple)
- Android (1.1 million downloads)

The secret behind the iPhone version, MonoTouch. I cannot give it enough praise, and I think everyone serious about iPhone development should consider MonoTouch before doing the objective-c approach.

We have to support our app on multiple platforms and the key to that is to maximize the amount of shared code between the versions. Thanks to MonoTouch our WP7 and iPhone versions share a lot of the same code in regards to getting data and parsing it. The iPhone version was actually made in less than a week with no previous knowledge of the iPhone development environment.
