I'm developing an Android application and I would really like to deploy it for the iPhone as well.

However, I do not know Objective-C and I think it would take an annoyingly long time to figure that and the Apple framework out.

Is there a recommended way to port an Android application to iOS? Would the best bet be to hire a freelancer?

A: 

Right now I've only seen MonoTouch available for cross platform development, which allows you to develop in .NET targetting the iPhone.

I have not seen a similar product for Android, but would a .NET based conversion process be feasible? The pricing is not outrageous.

A similar product MonoDroid is coming soon to Android. http://monodroid.net/

A: 

Your best bet for X-plat is HTML 5.

You will not be able to automagically port your native code because Android and iPhone use completely different patterns for developing all aspects of "the app".
