Hi Josh,

It is painful for me to admit, but you do have a point here. :-)

On the other hand, RunRev can also run 'faceless' on webservers as CGI engines. I think the gap between using a stack on a 'normal' computer and a CGI server is larger than the gap between OSX and the iPhone OS.

There are some minor hurdles to take, but the main difference is Cocoa Touch / the GUI. Except for that challenge, it is just Mac OSX.

I understand the desire to have Rev a write-once, deploy everywhere
solution... iPhone, Windows mobile, web, toaster, microwave, etc.

But I'd like to cast my one very small vote that Rev continue to focus
on doing one thing really well- make desktop apps for OSX/WinXP/Vista/
Linux that work really well.

To me, continuing to refine Rev's power in making it easier to work
with databases, improving table fields, Quicktime and AVI functions,
adding more standard widgets like popup calendars and various types of
grids, better text processing... in my opinion, improving those core
functions is so much more important than trying to make it a do
everything solution, especially for a smaller company.

Xcode works fine for iPhone, there are other solutions for web, a wise
person once told me, "stick to one thing, and be the best in the world
at it."

(Of course, I have never followed this advice meeself ;-)
