We have a POS Software developed with Delphi 7 and we like to know how to convert this Delphi application into a web application. We did a lot of research but most of the information is from years ago. Maybe there is something new (2012).
You cannot convert a desktop Delphi application to a web application. You will have to rewrite it. You can write a web application using Delphi, but the controls and strategy you will use are quite different from a desktop application. If you choose Delphi as your web development environment you will be able to reuse any non-visual code. Using Delphi to develop web applications is not very common.
Yes you can!

I have to develop an application similar to Google Docs with some special requirements: to be a SaaS and to work both online and offline?
Which technologies would be the most suitable? Is ASP.NET MVC compatible with this kind of demands? If so, how is it possible to make it work offline?
Is ASP.NET MVC compatible with this kind of demands?
You can use any server side technology you like.
If so, how is it possible to make it work offline?
With a combination of Cache Manifest (note: limited browser support) to make the files for the application available offline and a Web Storage technology (Note: reasonable browser support) to store the data (which you'll have to sync with the server when it becomes available if it want it shared between systems/browsers).

Web frameworks are everywhere, and I can't think of a programming language that hasn't a web framework implementation (at least those that I know of). Vala seems the programming language Linux developers were waiting for since ages, it borrows a lot from C# which is very good IMHO.
Yes, Vala was implemented to develop good Gnome applications, but still; we've seen crazy implementations like node.js. How likely are we to see a Vala based web framework? Is it feasible? Is it a good idea?
There is a web framework called Valum in development. It's just been started, so it still very basic.
As an aside, I've not seen a web framework in plain C, otherwise, that could be bound to Vala.

I am currently in the process of building a mobile app, on iphone. I want the app to be able to connect to a web back-end server to manage user logins and to and retrieve user data. Which would be quicker/simpler to build that type of back-end RoR or Django?
Go with whichever you are most familiar with.
I can't answer about Django, but if you want to write it in Ruby, you should consider using Sinatra as a lightweight alternative to Rails.
If you choose django and are planning on handling RESTful requests from the phone, you should look into django-piston.

Which kind of application would anyone suggest to start working on/developing for a novice BlackBerry who has hardly spent 4-5 days checking out the API's and the simulator.
If you want to write some simple application, you may port small open source game from J2ME. You will not have to think about business logic and resources.
My first BlackBerry application was plain puzzle.
There are several articles about writing fully functional applications:
Creating a Blackberry Game by Toni Westbrook
Thinking BlackBerry - GPS application
CodeProject - End-to-End Real World BlackBerry Application By MiamiCoder
Also I recommend the complete BlackBerry Java Development Environment Labs.

Hello world might be a nice start.

I think the best part of flash is the possibility to create not squared user interfaces, so I like the idea to create desktop apps using flash. I know AIR is for that but it doesn't allow real access to OperatingSystem apis and dlls and the commercial options are kind of difficult to customize.
You can try ScreenweaverHX:
http://haxe.org/com/libs/swhx
It's the Haxe-based successor of the old Screenweaver. However, it's not as simple as the old version used to be. Most likely you need to take a look to the basics of Haxe and Neko, the 2 technologies it's based on.
There's another project on top of SWHX that it's called HippoHX. It aims to "complete" SWHX providing that extra functionality you might miss (simple ActionScript APIs and a GUI). However, it's in its early stages:
http://hippohx.com
DISCLAIMER: I'm the owner of HippoHX, so my point is obviously biased.
As far as I know SWHX is the only Open Source alternative at this point.
Try flajector. it's powerfull converter from flash to exe. You can to develop your application using AIR. And then you can convert it into desktop application .exe
