You are a bit behind the times. Tablet PCs are already very popular, and
we don't have to wait 10 years to see them dominate the market. Apple's

Thanks. Hopefully this project will turn out as good as it sounds. At

No, you can use other languages. However depending on what they are, they may
need to be interpreted into Obj C.
For example, I can place lines of C++ code right in the middle of my Obj C code
and it works just fine. Not all languages will behave

Let's not turn this into an argument as that was not my intent. What I

Hello Dakotah,
Another option, if you are looking at audio games exclusively, is BGT. It
fulfills all the criteria you specified. It only runs on Windows, but has
been confirmed to work well on Xp
Hi Philip,
I think he was interested in a more cross-platform friendly solution as
he specifically mentioned that in his initial post. Therefore BGT, as
good as it is, wouldn't fulfill this requirement.
