When I looked into NS Basic it seemed that it had only a few controls built in and you had to purchase controls for it to do more things. I believe the controls are visual basic compliant and usability of the program is more VB than B4PPC. B4A is Android. The NS Basic I looked at was for old PPC winMobile.
I believe there is a new NS Basic type program that apparently can write for all device types, (iphone, Android, etc) but I believe it might need online compiling to work. If this is what you are talking about then I think you write your code and it is sent online to be compiled for the correct device operating system. How that would work I haven't a clue but it sounds weird to me.
With B4A you can only develop for android. But it allows you to create an app with the same capabilities that one that is created with the official SDK.
I believe NS Basic generates web apps that can run in web browsers (which can be packaged into app store distributable apps too) while B4A generates true native apps compiled with Android SDK. I prefer B4A.
