If you miss their talk today at AjaxWorld in Santa Clara, CA, you can still read about how Benjamin Shine and Bret Simister built an iPhone application in OpenLaszlo at iPhoneDevCamp in two days.


The iPhone application is NEWSMATCH. It’s a game that presents items from a Yahoo! News RSS feed, with images and titles. The challenge is to match an image with the headline it illustrates. To play, you click(or tap) on an image, then click (or tap) on a headline. If they match, you’re given the opportunity to read the story. Try it here: http://labs.openlaszlo.org/ipdc/awip03/  


NEWSMATCH was written from scratch in two days, using OpenLaszlo. It ran on the iPhone, with very few iPhone-specific modifications, from the very first versions.


See their OpenLaszlo blog entry at http://weblog.openlaszlo.org/archives/2007/09/iphone-application-development-step-by-step/,   and walk through the progression of NEWSMATCH, illustrating how OpenLaszlo facilitates rapid development of iPhone applications.
