Well, I for one, am not going to stump up $119 for something that has no 
Demo on the basis
of what I see on their website.

What is an "AppDrop spot" ?

Who is going to pay money on the basis of a bunch of promises and a 10 
second (10 second) video?

Absolutely nothing to tell us what the programming language looks like. 
If it is Java then it is Java,
it is NOT "Hypercard reimagined".

There have been dozens of these before; obviously believing that 
'Hypercard' is a magic word some 20 years
down the road.

What RunRev has, and all these wannabees don't is a track record and a 
code-base built on the bones
of Metacard.
