Always so usefull, in practice ;-)

RevServer will feet this need as you expect.

If the PDA part relies on a web browser client and the server part on  
on-rev, the onest need is to use an authentication model able to suit  
the PDA while its IP changes, some times minute after minute.

If you own such a PDA or iPhone, you can test the way i handle such  
authentication model in visiting and creating your iDesk acount at "http://www.woooooooords.com 
". Be carefull about the fact that the site is'nt in itself yet  
optimised for mobile device displays, only the authentication one is,  
at this point. All the server code relies entierly on a .irev lib +  
js. No AJAX at this point because i wanted to learn all about irev  
before.

Very good tech, full usable in production mode from yet and i hope to  
deliver my first ASP solution relying on on-rev in the forecoming weeks.

RunRev has decided to make the RevServer available under those three  
platforms. I would prefer to see each one available after an other (1.  
Linux, 2. OSX or Windows, 3. the last one of OSX or Windows) in the  
sense of such a "one delivry after an other" would probably help  
RunRev to delivry
- a strong message to the Linux world n-tier devloppers community
- a strong message to the .NET world n-tier devloppers community
- a well incremented marketing message about the RunRev "devlop once,  
deploy anyware" policy

Can tell, at this point.

You're welcome :D
