rev apps on iPhone?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Lynn,

But, you do know that Cocoa is in beta for both Web and Windows and so  
therefore makes xCode that much more interesting. RR already has the  
Mac WIndows thing down. It seems that Linux is coming along and with  
the Web a possibility I still think RR for ease of use and a much much  
much more simple interface/workflow is in another league completely  
than xCode.

That said, I will be hiring an experienced xCode developer shortly  
that will take my RR prototypes over to the iPhone and the Web (beta).

I would love to hire another RR developer but they are hard to find  
locally and the end output is for iPhone etc. so I have to put  
resources into the Cocoa development and I will continue doing the  
Prototypes.
