Building Android first could make it harder to raise money

This is another good reason to build web/mobile-web/phonegap first if your product can be done (and almost everything can) with these technologies.<p>Not stirring the native/web pot, but web allows quicker iterations, no app store approval proceses, etc. etc.<p>At an introduction, does every investor even want to install another app? Do they install the app of every business that contacts them? I doubt it.<p>Lower the barrier to entry. I just built a demo app for a start-up who is looking for investment, and we had both camera/photo and location services in the browser without even needing phonegap. It's been viewed on iPhone, Android on both phones and tablets.
