    Mobile device apps

    Is c++ suitable for mobile apps? Can a program written on pc be ported fairly easily? What about libraries, cross platform includes mobile os? Do they even have a common os? Is it better just to develop from start in other language more mobile specific?

    Yes, e.g., consider the Symbian family of operating systems.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
