That's on the input side, but what about the output? You can't compile and run an app on your mobile phone yet.

Does the application have to be a fully-native one? I think an interpreted app would be possible, but distributing it would need distribution of a runtime.

Perhaps if the idea of developing apps on the device turns out to be of strategic importance for the platform, the main mobile OS makers would add some sort of compilation service to the OS. If this is true it would still need a killer-app to prove it.

Yeah I'm talking about fully native apps.

Imagine if you could only write apps for your laptop on a mainframe. That's how writing mobile apps on laptops feels like to me.
