This place is a bit dead now?

Well, that's nice, but I won't trust you until I see a working release, as PB .NET wasn't ever really released, but announced 100 times .

I'm just happy to finally have some good insomnia entertainment.

I try to develop software for iPhone/iPad/Android/Symbian/Blacberry etc these days, what about you?

Are you using the native SDKs?

I'm hoping WAC widgets are going to catch on, I really like the simplicity and flexibility of scripting languages (though JavaScript is not my favourite). Samsung and LG have both stated that any handsets they produce that are capable of being WAC enabled will be and the carriers are right behind it as they want to get on the app stores bandwagon so I'm quite optimistic.

Now mobile phones are getting fast processors and large amounts of RAM I think scripting languages really are a viable way of programming for them.

I see the new Nokia N9 has 1Gb of RAM as well as a 1GHz processor (and it's running MeeGo). I think it's the nicest looking smart phone I've seen yet, pity Elop's duplicity has meant it's stillborn.

I also heard a rumour some next generation Series 40 phones are going to get 1Ghz processors, Qt, sat-nav, e-mail, etc.. too so the distinction between smart phones and feature phones is blurring. Samsung are going along similar lines with their Bada handsets so I guess at some point dumb phones will just drop off the bottom of the scale.

Idle's the man!
All you naysayers will receive a voodoo curse if you keep it up! (j/k.... or am I?!)

I use NS Basic/App Studio Because I can write programs in Basic..

It's based on the webkit browser/html5/css and javascript.

You can write your apps in NS Basic/App Studio and then submit it to PhoneGap Build, and they will compile it into native applications for iphone, ipad, android, palm, symbian, meego and bada for you and give you a download link to the finished applications, or you can use each platforms SDKs to do the same, or you can publish it to the web directly.

If people create a shortcut to it, it will be downloaded and installed much like an ordinary app, and run offline, but update automatically if the device is online. If you remove it from the web, it
is uninstalled as soon as the device finds out

You can embed javascript into the source code along with Basic as well, and also call functions in your program directly from html inside a webcontrol..

Check it out.

Oh, and I didn't mean to say that this place is dead, that was bad wording. Its a bit quiet,
but it will probably pick up once 4.60 and its canvas gadget is out. PureBasic is still No1 of its kind.

We are just quite busy with personal stuff at the moment. This is why things slowed down a bit.
