I, like a lot of people I'm sure, have "iPad lust". And reading about RevMobile, am developing RevMobile lust! To be able to write and design progs for the iPad in particular (on the Mac platform, in my case) would be terrific.
What will stop me in my tracks from buying RevMobile though, when the Mac version is ready, is the price. No way could I justify £1000 for a piece of software; apart from not being able to afford that sort of money, it would be crazy to spend that, being only a hobbyist programmer. Then there's the "redundancy factor": I personally wouldn't be interested in any other platforms other than the iPad (and possibly the iPhone at a later date).
My suggestion is to sell each part of RevMobile as separate units, single-platform use, i.e one unit for the iPad, another for the iPhone, yet another for Windows Mobile, etc. perhaps each unit costing £150 to £200. This way, people could buy for just a specific platform they want to write progs for; the affordability would certainly ensure many more sales (taking into account hobbyist programmers; maybe more than 5 times as many, making Rev more money anyhow); there wouldn't be any "redundancy" there; and at any time, another platform "module" could be bought (and afforded) by many more people.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on this, thank you.
