title: universal crossplatform App for Android, iOS and PC - theoretical
body: <p>I'm currently working on a project and I need to develop the same app for Android smartphones, iOS gadgets(iPhone/iPad) AND a normal desktop computer with Windows. It could have been easy, but my boss who is kinda far away from programming wants all of them to be written in the same language to have only one source-code with minor changes for all 3 Apps. I told him it's hardly possible and now trying to find the most shortest ways. What I have now:
   1. To write everything using HTML, CSS and JS - suits for Android and iOS using for example PhoneGap... but with the .exe version I'm in the deadend. I was considering using VB's WebBrowser, but it uses the installed version of IE... doesn't pass me. And now the hardest moment: once a day I need to localy store a copy of a DB with about 20k entries and then read them. Not really a problem for smartphones, I've tried something similar before, but on a computer, localy, from an IE powered VB Client... I think it's impossible at all.
   2. The same for smartphones, but pure VB for the computer version.</p>
  
  <p>Could you please suggest some other options (shorter and faster than writting 3 native apps) or mby offer me some suitable tools or APIs I don't know yet.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
