Perhaps my original comment was misunderstood. I wasn't even thinking about mobile apps. I doubt if those Fox developers are trying to develop mobile apps in Fox. If mobile apps were my primary focus I would probably be exploring and educating myself in the technologies you are talking about. I have no interest in developing for mobile as you can't do everything and I'm trying to extend my skills in the kind of business apps I've been developing for 25 years. I mobile would be a lot of fun, it's just not what I do, and my spare time goes to piano and writing.
>If we're talking mobile, a realist might say exactly the same about NET. Unless you believe that WP7 dominates mobile, of course, or that Mono's future is guaranteed.
>If we're still talking mobile, my understanding is that iOS doesn't allow Flash or silverlight and Android doesn't support NTLM as of 2.2. Whereas it is inescapable that *many* mobile apps are being written using sqlite and Javascript, If you know different, write a paper and educate us.
> Lets keep talking frontends and mobile, which inescapably means Android and iOS.
>People don't use SQL Server on their mobile front end - they can't.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
