Thomas, I had a recent chat with another list member, and he informs me you have many clients who use Apple products, specifically iPhone, and perhaps you may be more sensitive to Apple's point of view because of it. I can certainly understand your desire to not create a sense of fear in all of this.
Hey, I'm OK with Apple products. I absolutely LOVE my iPhone-- single most amazing device I've owned since my first 128K Mac. I release all my apps on both Windows and Mac. I'm just OK with my iPad-- still I use it all the time. But, what I'm most concerned about is the very future of our beloved RunRev. As you may know, I haven't posted on this or the Improve list for quite some time, but am doing so because this current issue of Apple's revisionist licensing has the potential to really affect us all in a HUGE way. After all, this new license is in the iPhone 4.0 SDK, not 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0. This decision, however wrong in my eyes, should have been made a very long time ago. Many existing tools vendors and their customers and THEIR customers are affected-- to the tune of hundreds of thousands of users and millions of dollars. If successful, it sets an industry precedence which can effectively treat all cross-platform dev tools (RunRev included) like outlaws-- in all industries, on all OS'es. I'm blogging about this at http://www.chipp.com. I'm commenting about it in others blogs, too. This is very serious stuff. I'm not trying to spread FUD but to try and help put pressure on Apple to rethink their very destructive positioning on all of this. I really am sorry if you are offended, my intention was not to do so. I still will defend what I see as a clear injustice by Steve Jobs to the rest of the cross-platform community in general, and to Rev in particular. _______________________________________________ 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
