Ask HN: Developing for WinMobile vs Symbian vs iPhone

2 pointsby joeblubaughalmost 16 years ago
I'm getting ready to start a project developing a mobile phone application utilizing the phone's camera and whatever other environment sensors are available on the device. Based on some code I'll be inheriting, it would be an advantage to be able to use C++ as part (though not necessarily all) of the project. I've spent some time looking at the development environments for the three platforms mentioned above, but I'm looking for some practical experience from hackers here. On which platforms is it easiest to interact with the camera viewfinder and other sensor data (GPS, gyros, accelerometers)? What's your preference?

In the iPhone, you can only use Objective-C, so unless you're willing to use it, cross it out. But mind that making apps for iPhone is a gamble.
