New mobile platforms

Post by richervin » Thu Sep 29, 2011 10:21 pm

Is there any announced or announce-able information on alternative mobile platforms?

I'm thinking Windows, WebOS, etc.

I know many of these are doomed, but there may be value in supporting them for corporate customers. For example, my current employer is running a very big project with very big money. They want to create mobile applications to support their applications. However, they are not iOS and Android users. They are Windows and BlackBerry users.

I would like to promote this tool to them because I believe it's a superior tool for creating corporate apps (as opposed to creating games and simulations), but it cannot gain any acceptance without Windows support (at a minimum).

I suspect, but cannot prove, that a large enough customer could fund the effort of adding such support in exchange for unlimited licensing and extensive future support.

Attempting to develop for Android and iPhone
Currently on my third trial, and still finding LiveCode to be difficult for mobile applications in general, and particularly poor for Android

RR is usually open to this sort of thing, but it would have to be a very big customer who could afford to pay the full cost of development. If you can find one of those, let RR know and I bet they'd consider it.
