Just found out about a very interesting looking project known as Mosync. What Mosync is, is a cross platform mobile SDK which utilizes C/C++ and the gcc compiler to create applications that run on a multitude of mobile devices including iOS devices (iphone/iPad), Blackberry, Android, and Symbian based devices.
This looks like a very interesting solution, and the fact that it is open source, and offers a free licensing option for those developing open source applications appears to have developed quite a following.
There are Windows/Mac downloads available for Mosync, and included and the Mosync development environment is based on Eclipse.
You can check out the Mosync homepage here. The source code for Mosync along with tool downloads are available on the Mosync download page here.
Thank you to Leo and Jonas for mentioning the Mosync SDK in their comments.
