I have seen hints of Apportable embracing the UIKit conversions on their Twitter stream. No formal announcement yet. Most of BuzzTouch is based on UIKit. No silver bullet yet :-( Let us know how Marmalade works for you! -- Niraj Comments Both Marmalade and http://Apportable.com are finding a niche in translating iOS games to Android.
