Which is the best framework to develop cross platform application. Especially for android and iphone. I have been through the reviews present over the internet, but those seem to be pretty old. I believe both Titanium and Rhodes have developed much over the past couple of years.

Though I have not used Rhodes, I feel Titanium is better based on what I read about Rhodes. The JS syntax in Titaniums is also easy to ramp up on. But, from what I have seen, understanding the working of the native code is useful to understand and explain some of the behavior. There is one more comparison of the frameworks that I found recently here.
One of the basic differences is the nativeness of the two frameworks. Both Rhodes Framework and Titanium claim to be native. Rhodes however is not really native i.e. it uses an embedded Web Browser to display the HTML-coded website. Titanium, however, takes your JavaScript code, and create real native widgets on the respective platforms.
So what's so important about native? Well, it makes the user experience a whole lot better.
Rhodes Framework is best described as a competitor to PhoneGap.
From my knowledge, Rhodes is best for enterprisey apps. I would generally recommended Titanium for most app developers.
