Yes there are libraries to develop cross platform apps. The most common ones are Appcelerator, PhoneGap and Rhodes. I have worked only with Rhodes , so I can't really tell how good or bad the other two are. Rhodes is a ruby framework and can be used to develop apps on iOS, Android, Windows and Symbian.
This article should really help you out. Its a comparison between App Inventor, DroidDraw, Rhodes, PhoneGap, Appcelerator, WebView, and AML. http://www.amlcode.com/2010/07/16/comparison-appinventor-rhomobile-phonegap-appcelerator-webview-and-aml/

Try PhoneGap
Its an open-source mobile development framework developed by Nitobi Software. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, instead of often less-known languages such as Objective-C.
PhoneGap currently supports development for the operating systems Apple iOS, Google Android, HP webOS, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Nokia Symbian OS and RIM BlackBerry.
