Start from looking up "cross compilation".

Hi, zak100 -

You've actually got things backwards. In general, you should pick the mobile phone platform you want to develop for FIRST. Which language to use depends largely on which mobile phone you program for. Most iPhone apps, for example, are written in Objective C. Android prefers Java. And Nokia is pushing Qt/C++.

If you're not sure, probably your best bet is to download the Android SDK and experiment with it. In Java.

'Hope that helps!

Thanks. This is very good information. First I have to think of mobile phone. I know about java. But I dont know whether Qt/C++ & Objective C compiler's available for Linux??

Yes, they are - look up 'gcc' and visit Qt official website.
