Sure there are any number of exciting applications out there, but we don't need to discuss them in this specific list unless there's some benefit, at least, from a purely Linux/FOSS point of view.

Heh! Was thinking the same thing, but had refrained till this post. I concur: Supporting crappy iPads or Nokia, or what have you is hardly of interest on this list. IMHO, this is true even if the tools used for such support are FOSS. There is a fine line here, again IMHO. FOSS on a proprietary platform is maybe still worth supporting, FOSS that works around barriers set up by scheming proprietary companies is much more more meh. Take it elsewhere to some fanboi list, IMHO. Regards, Gora ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

That's an edge case -- if the tool is FOSS then it may just be relevant to discuss it here. However, this discussion was purely about a proprietary tool running on proprietary platforms. OTOH, Apple, with its excellent user-friendly policies, won't allow any GPL software in its Store, so Apple users are prohibited from ever having access to a large portion of FOSS. Unless they violate the ToS and jailbreak their phones, of course.
