AppForge's Crossfire Targets Multiplatform Development: Page 3 of 3

Overall, if you run a Microsoft shop, Crossfire will give you a level of productivity out of the box that you can't achieve in normal mobile development environments. Competitors have yet to combine the ability to multitarget applications with the same source code with the benefit of reusing your staff's VB knowledge. Having the same code run on a cell phone and another vendor's PDA is a huge advantage for both enterprise and independent software developers.
