Any guidelines or books for coding native and web applications for desktops and mobile devices?

After using so-called cross-platform tools, developers have had to code for each platform when applications get just a little sophisticated:

We all know about the MVC design pattern, but I am wondering about the many other pitfalls you may encounter while coding i18n applications for various devices.

Most guidelines out there are just about particular mobile devices. I am also interested in the differences between Swing/Java FX and IcedTead. Most users would access a web-based app. Power users while using their mobile devices will go native and while sitting on their desktop will be able to access lots of more functionality. So, in a sense it is not just a MVC, more like the adapter/facade design pattern.
