You cam do this with the CustomDrawn target. Please note that the widgetset
for iOS is simply Cocoa and not "iOS" (though I don't know what's more
usable: the Cocoa widgetset or the CustomDrawn-Cocoa widgets; I'd need to
experiment with that on my Mac ^^ )

You could also try Oxygene which supports both iOS and Android, but you'll
have to write platform and framework specific code for both... (so no
abstraction like the LCL does for example)
