It's actually quite easy.

www.cheeky.gr : Blobbit Dash, Blobbit Push, Gridrunner++ -- across  
PC, Mac, Linux, in App, Applet and Widget forms. Mobile as midp1,  
midp2 across all the required handsets. A quick cut and paste, search- 
and-replace and it's on xbox360. Palm too, if I could be bothered.

All from the same source, bar one class containing constants for  
screen size, music format and so on.

Admitedly these are 2D games, but the API abstraction for the various  
targets took one bloke in his spare bedroom a few weeks to write.  
Hardly rocket science.

I'm sure the boys at Morpheme have something similar.
