		drcode on Aug 4, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Parse (YC S11): A Heroku For Mobile Apps What I really want (and would pay money for) is something like PhoneGap but which lets me code in HTML5 and then deploy into the Android Market and iPhone AppStore at the push of a button, Without having to use Java/Objective C. Why has no one provided this product yet? Do the TOS for Android Market and AppStore make this impossible? (To be clear: The deployment part is the part I want, the part that I don't want to have to fuss with)

Looks like phonegap has a beta project in the works to provide this: https://build.phonegap.com/

I like the look of it!

Adobe's "InMarket" service was trying to provide a meta app store with channels into other app stores. Until InMarket was canceled:
