How exactly does runrev for ipad/iphone work?

[Andre Garzia]

Randall,

Stop.

Stop.

Take a breath...

Inhale....

Exhale....

Calm down...

Okay, now let me begin...

Facts: Let us not get politickal with all the democracy stuff. No one is
withholding information. RevMobile is in flux, it is not finished. What is
open is an option to buy it while in Open Beta. If I recall correctly what
is being sold is entrance to Alpha/Beta program which includes the final
version when shipped. So remember RevMobile is not finished, it is in flux,
specially related to how it works and build stuff.

Second Fact:  Apple gives the SDK for free but that doesn't mean you can
sell or distribute for free your software. To do so, you need to enter the
iPhone Developer Program ( http://developer.apple.com/iphone ) which costs
at least USD 99. Only members of iDP are allowed to submit software for
approval and to use AdHoc install procedures on their test devices. What
changed is that now apple added a clause to the agreement saying that your
submission to the app store needs to be originally written in
ObjC/CocoaTouch. Some weeks ago, you could be a member of the iDP and submit
applications built with other tools or cross-compiled from other tools. Now
you can't.

Now back to RevMobile. The users who bought their entrances to the
Alpha/Beta program took a bet. They are willing to pay a price because they
believe that in the future RevMobile will be great! Most of the current
RevMobile testers are people who are going to the 2010 conference I believe
since RevMobile was included in the pioneer offer.

So RevMobile is not a finished product. So let us keep the legalese and
political stuff out and keep hoping for the best. RevMobile as a product is
not for sale yet.
