Re: Apad - The Andriod iPad
The Android SDK comes with a simulator, although I haven't needed to use it. Instead, I just post the APK files online, and my colleague who has an Android phone just goes to that link, and the app installs. So, the cheapest way to test Rev on Android devices would be to just know someone who has one.

I haven't read anything from RunRev specifying their stance on versions, but most of the world is now targeting 2.2 (Froyo) and forward. The earlier versions were useful in gaining a foothold with some manufacturers, but the differences between them have, as has been pointed out here, resulted in a target base that's hard for developers to aim for. V2.1 is now considered a reasonable transitional focus until 2.2 is released this summer, and it is expected that most if not all manufacturers will adopt v2.2 as a migration path to a unified 3.0 next year. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The great thing about technology purchasing is that it's one of the few areas of life that consistently rewards the procrastinator. :) Gadgets only get ever more powerful while also getting ever cheaper. When I first heard about the coming iPad and similar devices I was intrigued but decided to see how it panned out. With Apple's SDK change and Rev for Android still some time away, I assuaged myself in the meantime by getting a netbook, which has been a wonderful addition to my workflow for a little more than half the cost of an iPad (US$270 vs. $500). Similar weight and size, built-in keyboard, protected screen thanks to the clamshell form factor, hundreds of thousands of apps for it (would have been millions but I prefer Ubuntu Netbook Remix over Windows), has a multitouch trackpad, but it also runs Rev and comes bundled with an entire computer. :) Some have noted recent sales figures of the iPad as a reason to overlook the netbook market, but reading past the headlines we find two significant details: 1. The market cannibalization caused by the iPad's success isn't affecting just netbooks, but most computing devices including Apple's own laptops; the cannibalization effect is more horizontal than vertical. 2. Stats about this effect on netbook sales mention reduction not in unit sales but only of the GROWTH of unit sales. So even with The iPad Effect netbook sales continue to increase, just continuing to grow at a slightly slower rate than they have been over the last couple years. In more recent weeks, now that the excitement of the iPad launch has settled down a bit and analysts can examine the bigger picture from a more relaxed perspective, the outlook for netbooks is pretty good: Netbook sellers need not fear the iPad, says analyst Just 1% of potential netbook buyers will choose a tablet instead May 18, 2010 http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9176932/Netbook_sellers_need_not_fear_the_iPad_says_analyst Netbook sales will almost double in 2010 http://newnetbookreviews.net/2010/netbook-sales-will-almost-double-in-2010/ More stats with notes about the implications of netbook deployment for Rev developers here: Netbook market on the rise http://revjournal.com/blog.irv?pid=1273671983.138462 If you're itching for an ultra-portable gadget, a netbook offers an alternative you can enjoy Rev on today (and R and Squeek and all the other languages that are verboten on iPads). -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
