Are you sure Apple allows that? I see all these streaming apps being pushed out of the AppStore.. About Lua I think you are right: you are not allowed to use an interpreter to download software to the device. As long as you push that through the AppStore you might be just fine. But I thing porting the Audio, implementiong JiveMLON and otherwise having an iPhone ab would make for a terrific solution. Wait a moment... sounds familiar? ;-) -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54992 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
