title: Objective-C to Java cross compiler
body: <p>It is clear that cross compilers will not be allowed by the Apple App Store, so a developer will need to be familiar with Objective-C to create applications for the iPhone. </p>
  
  <p>I was wondering, is there a cross compiler that will take Objective-C application code and rebuild it into a similar Java application that can be packaged for Android? That way, a developer could still learn just one language (obj-c) but put out applications on many devices.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that the Java port would be less optimal than a natively coded application, but could conceivably save a developer some time.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  Yes, the applications would be terrible. But would they not be as terrible as if they had been built by monotouch or the flash cross compiler? Couldn't those same methods be used that these cross compilers use?</p>
