It's beginning to look as though the iPhone SDK may not ship this month since Apple has been silent about it. It was supposed to ship by the end of February. Of course this doesn't really have any impact on Run BASIC since it will not use the SDK, but it will produce apps that run in the iPhone's Safari web browser.
We haven't talked much about our plans for iPhone support in Run BASIC. We should have more to say in the next month or so.

iPhone BASIC?
Now that we've released Run BASIC, we would like to collect some feedback about the idea of adding some capability for the iPhone (and other mobile phones). There is a Javascript library and some CSS called iUi http://code.google.com/p/iui/ which provides the metaphor and visual look for iPhone (and iPod Touch) apps. This would make for very easy iPhone development, and it could be a great marketing button for Run BASIC.
Apple plans to announce some sort of SDK next month if I'm not mistaken, but a lot of iPhone software development will definitely still be web apps.
We could:

We could:
- Work on this now
- Work on this later
- Encourage the RB community to integrate iUi by writing BASIC code
Perhaps the last option is the most sensible for now. Feedback is welcome.
