I want to make an app for windows 8, this app should have a built-in print functionality.
I know that Ios sdk support printing for AirPrint-capable printers, how about Windows 8 SDK?
Yes Windows store apps do support printing, here're the links to API, quick start and guidelines for starters.

I know Delphi 10 Seattle is currently able to make apps for Windows 10, Android, iOS, OS X and Web. Well does Windows 10 mean that I can also make apps for Windows 10 Mobile and/or Windows Universal Apps?
No. Delphi does not support any kind of Windows Mobile or Windows Universal development at this time. Microsoft is still researching the possibility of supporting classic Win32 apps in Windows Mobile environments.
We are in a need to develop the native app which should target both 7 and 10 OS version in BB devices. The app should support webview (load external url in the native app).
By analysing in BB support site, there are native SDKs available for 10 but i could not conculde if there any single SDK that would support both 7 and 10 OS.

I dont find much details about the best develpment tool to target both the OS.
Please help me
Thanks,

Unfortunately you can't develop an App to target both OS7 and BB10 devices.
BlackBerry 10 and BBOS7 are as alike as iOS and BBOS7, they don't share ANYTHING. You have to treat them completely different.
Is there any way through which a flash content can be run on iOS devices?
I am getting two different view.
The link below says that it is possible that we can develop some flash application and run it on iOS devices.
http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2012/12/ios-apps-flash-cs6.html
But on the Apple website link it says running flash applications is not possible on iOS devices.
Can someone clarify if it is possible to run the flash applications on iOS?
You cannot run flash natively on iOS devices. Adobe does, however, provide a tool to run software built with flash on iOS devices.
This works in a similar way to Cordova/ Phonegap in that it takes your code and crosscompiles it into iOS code using other plugins and librarys.
As shown here:

Safari on Mac OS will support Flash
Safari on iOS won’t support Flash.
We will need to write a native iOS app to deliver the functionality
As a mobile app developer on all platforms, I am interested to know if it is worth it to write BlackBerry apps for the older OS now that BBX is coming out. I heard the new OS will have an Android player that will supposedly run Android apps on it. It seems that any apps written for the older OS won't be compatible with the BBX OS. Also, is using WebWorks a viable option? What do you guys think?
The road map ahead for developing for BBX announced at DevCon is:
HTML5, WebWorks, Adobe products (Air)
Native C/C++
Android Applications repackaged to run on the Android Player
BlackBerry OS is deprecated after OS 7. That said however, there are currently 70 million (according to RIM) BlackBerry smartphones in use, none of which will likely ever support BBX. RIM will continue to support those devices and the development environments for them. If you only want to work in one environment, and want to support the greatest number of devices, both BlackBerry OS and BBX, then WebWorks is the way to go. If you only want to support the PlayBook and BBX devices then you can use any of the approaches listed above. If you can't do what you want in WebWorks, or want to support devices prior to the introduction of WebWorks support then you will have to use the BlackBerry Java Environment.
At some point in every product line you will come to the end of useful life of a product and, as a developer, have to face moving on into the future. It is going to be worth while developing for BlackBerry OS as long as doing so helps you achieve your goals, what ever they are. So you have to look at your target market and decide if it includes those users who will be carrying BB OS devices, for probably at least the next 3 years, or not.
That's correct, legacy BlackBerry code will be useless:
DevCon update: BB-Java is dead, no java support for QNX.
By the way, the Android player will have several limitations too. Your best bet is C++ for BBX. Luckily, BlackBerry market share is declining and there's not a single BBX device out there yet.
Update: New BlackBerry 10 (as BBX is called now) phones have just been released. Here are the final dev options:
Native C++ API (optional libraries are available)
Android API, partial support
Adobe AIR API, partial support
HTML5 API, partial support
Can any one provide details of "ios sdk for windows xp" so that we can develop Ipad application in Windows environment.
YES it is possible! You can develop for iOS on a PC. Almost all versions of windows are supported, including Windows XP. You can build iPad and iPhone apps using the SDK. It is called Dragon Fire SDK and it allows you to create iOS apps using Visual Studio C++. Dragon Fire SDK is very limited in it's features, but the company is constantly updating the SDK. Dragon Fire SDK is really aimed at creating games (Open GL ES), although they recently announced a possibility of an Enterprise version of the SDK which would allow you to create lifestyle, productivity, utility, and other types of apps. I used it for almost a year before switching to a Macintosh Computer and getting Xcode, and I was very pleased with everything. The company was devoted to helping you create your dream app, and they had lots of resources, help forums, and communities to answer your questions about app building with the PC. The SDK allows you to develop your app in C or C++ and then test it using a real iPhone or iPad simulator. Dragon Fire SDK ranges from the basic starter kit, $50, to the ultimate version which allows for iPhone and iPad Dev, priced at $150. Dragon Fire SDK is created by Zumisoft. As far as distributing your app, Zumisoft will distribute it for you, but the downfall of that is that your app must be a FREE app and updates cost $10 each. The other way is to distribute it through the App Store for $99 and do all the cool fancy stuff you want.

Best of Luck!
Happy App Building!
If you are really serious about the iPad app, buy a Mac ;)
There is no iOS SDK for Windows.
