I'm looking to RT[F]M from the sources on this one.
Anyone has a source url by any chance?
Gave a shot at Google, but it's ful of mailing list and blog noise.
Thx,
Stephane
PS: I so can't wait for that supposed web sdk so we hopefully know
what foot to dance on, especially when not having access to the actual
device... *sigh* I'm in Canada, so no soup for me on the iPhone front.
Not even through Erica's crafty ways, bc of the data charges I'd
incur. /end rant :)
