I think that's very wise advice. To offer a commercial perspective, our customers willing to pay for sophisticated smart phone apps (currently gov/mil agencies and some mid-size telecoms) have very specific needs and care about reliable operation, development duration, long-term support -- all the things you would expect in a normal project. Those aren't going to happen on a jailbreak system. For example they're willing to use Droid and not iPhone if the job can get done. -Jeff _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
