News on revMobile

It's quite a long read, so here are some highlights:

No Rev of any sort on iPhone OS, probably forever.

Refocusing efforts on Android.

RunRevLive 10 pushed back to April next year.

The one thing that Kevin says that seems like a wrong conclusion, is that they will continue to support the existing iPhone version for Apple Enterprise customers. Those are the ones that are allowed to deploy their own apps to some number of hundreds of users. But the license agreement doesn't say anything about Store submissions, it only says that you have to use certain languages, and you can't use an interpreter layer. An Enterprise user making an app for internal use would have still broken the agreement.

If you think about it, it would make sense for the agreement to affect everyone, not just people submitting to the App Store, because whatever calamity is caused by having Rev, or Flash based Apps on an iPhone device, would still hold true for all those Enterprise users. And that, if there is any logic in the argument at all, would be enough to upset Apple.
