I don’t know the first thing about mobile application development. I’m starting my research now.

Can someone give me a quick overview of the top most popular, mature and cross-platform technologies for creating and running applications that work on iphones, blackberries, windows mobiles and androids? For example, let’s say I want to create a mobile software application that monitors your heart rate and blood pressure via a piece of hardware connected to one of the mobile’s port, and I want this to work on iphone, blackberry, windows mobile and android.

What development platforms should I consider? What are the pros vs. cons of them? How popular are they?

    Phonegap might be what you’re looking for. Basically you’ll build a web-app that is local on the device and has access to JavaScript libraries which provide access to many of the device’s OS APIs.

    From their site:

    What is PhoneGap?
    PhoneGap is an open
    source development framework for
    building cross-platform mobile apps.
    Build apps in HTML and JavaScript and
    still take advantage of core features
    in iPhone/iTouch, iPad, Google
    Android, Palm, Symbian and Blackberry
    SDKs.SDKs.
