Although C was designed for implementing system software, it is also widely used for developing portable application software. C is one of the most popular programming languages.

It is generally regarded as a "sexy" platform for which to develop, and you're still more or less stuck with Objective-C as your only technology choice. It's not plain C, but you still need to understand the concepts of memory and limited resource management.Ultimately, you're looking for a solution that makes C (and embedded programming) more accessible to programmers. Is it a specific framework or SDK that provides a common layer on top of existing hardware platforms? Is it a cheaper (or hotter) device than the iPhone? Perhaps it's a combo open source software/hardware device, something that folks could construct themselves.The new generation of programmers are still young, and young people tend to be swayed by trends. Create the trend and I doubt you'll have trouble getting kids to seek it out. One answer might very well be continued proliferation of iPhone app development.
