Just pondering - Rev CGI & iPhone

[Richard Miller]

Hi Andre,

Living in Vermont, I'm in the only state left that has no IPhone  
service (though that's supposed to change in 60 days or so), so I've  
not had the chance to play with one. But I could if there was an  
economic argument to be made for developing an "app" for it.

 From what I hear you saying, while we can't develop a traditional  
app for it, we can use Rev to create some interesting browser/Rev cgi- 
based programs tailored to the IPhone's specific screen. This sounds  
intriguing. Again, not having used an IPhone, is there anything more  
you can say on this or am I summarizing the opportunity fairly clearly?

Thanks.
Richard
