Roger,

Kevin and I have worked closely together for some years now, and we communicate 
frequently. He has, of course, been privy to what we're doing and wants us to 
have great success. He has been pleased that we're really leveraging revServer 
technology and building our web app IDE in desktop Revolution.

RevMobile creates native apps...binaries. That's part and parcel of the Runtime 
Revolution DNA. Rodeo creates web apps using revServer technologies. I can't 
imagine a better tech partnership.

I realize the list has become infused with doubt and fear these last few weeks, 
but our announcement is nothing but the Revolution platform being used to its 
best advantage. No fear, uncertainty or doubt.

Lastly, we make it abundantly clear how and when we plan to deploy Rodeo in our 
Roadmap video:

Not all pricing models make all people happy. But given the rules on 
interpreters running on the iPad, we don't feel like rolling the dice with 
Apple. 

If you think about it, there are such fees everywhere: license renewals 
(Revolution), developer membership (Apple), server storage (hosted services), 
embedded ads (Google).

Given the narrow walls of the Apple regulations for the iPad, I think our fee 
structure represents a good choice for Rodeo users and our company's continued 
success.

Best,

Jerry Daniels
