That's one (http://phonegap.com/) and it builds cross-platform apps,
too. Very nice, have you used it?

Of all the latest phone OSes, Android seems the most capable as far as
having the freedom to get the phone to do exactly what you want. If
you don't like the music player it ships with, you can build a better
one without sacrificing the ability to play tracks in the background.
The only caveat is that you'll be building it in Java.

The Pre sounds like it's the easiest in which to build rich apps. Has
anyone here actually tried the SDK yet?
