[fpc-devel] iphone development

[ABorka]

You guys are correct about the pricing, of course.

But $1K is peanuts if the finished application will be presented to 
30-40 million people for download.
Considering what I read about obj C development... I think many 
people/companies would happily pay the price to have some nice language 
for development.

What is interesting that they seem to be able to really use a different 
language within the apple rules of iphone development.
