Relevance to Delphi - Whether its Symbian or iPhone or Android these devices are starting to rival desktop OS's as to the sheer number of people running them, and for developers to write for.
Whether these are making an end-run around Windows is another debate. But I would love the ability to write at least some kind of stock standard VCL apps for them in Delphi. The touch interface in latest Delphi is a big step in this direction... In a way I don't really care about writing Delphi apps for OSX or linux, but the big growing market is iPhone and Android.. Ironically one of the formal advantages of Pascal is that it may have a head start in being cross compiled to other platforms due to its formal design... Will we see ability to cross compile Delphi to Android/iPhone/iPad anytime soon?
