Ever since the little license fiasco that Apple hit developers a while ago, I the urge to leave the platform. I trust Steve Jobs to do what he thinks is best for Apple and Apple-only customers. I don't trust cross-platform software has a place in his plan. I have six macintosh computers, one iPad and one iPhone. I am slowly moving back to linux, the only thing that prevents me from moving everything to linux at this time is that I invested too much in apps that are only available for Mac OS X, so on the Desktop, I will migrate slowly as I find replacements.
Now, about iOS, I will not repeat anything said before because we all heard all the opinions. I am now using an Android Nexus S and a Palm Pre 2 as my main phone (I alternate between them because I simply can't choose). The WebOS phone has the best usability and features, the Nexus S is more powerful and I can code in LC for it... so I use one phone for a week, then the other one for a while... both are synchronized to the same Google Accounts so I have the same contacts and emails. All over the air... The thing is, I'd rather use 2009 Palm Pre2 that has no LiveCode support than go back to iOS. I feel that iOS is a consumer platform, like a microwave oven, it does one simple thing, if you try to do something else, you end up with a burned appliance. Chipp, there are lots of Android phones out there in different levels of crappiness (<-- I invented this word). If you decide to get one, I recommend the Nexus S because that is the Google Vanilla phone, no vendor stuff, just plain android with no customizations, it is better than the stuff that HTC and Motorola are shipping. (as a joke we can all wait for MeeGo) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
