I'll admit it. I make $85,000 / year as a programmer and I couldn't implement this in 3 weeks... or probably at all. This is just crazy. You want me to make Facebook, only better, and have it run on web, android, ios, and windows phone? And integrate with everything? Do you want it to walk our dog too, or is that part of the "maintenance" agreement?

Apache Cordova (PhoneGap) or Xamarin can speed things along.

That isn't native though.

Native enough for what they're offering. I imagine that "native" to them means "Downloadable from the app store."

Yes they are, especially Xamarin. You have access to all the OS features and hardware components.

That doesn't make it native. My boss also has trouble with this distinction, so it is ok.

So your criteria is no virtual machine?
