The Rails part of Ruby on Rails is a web framework so as such is really only for web development.
Ruby however can do almost anything but you would have to pick a new framework for desktop applications (such as GTK or wx or Fox or ...) and again for mobile development. Actually I don't know of a mobile framework for Ruby but I'm sure one exists (or is at least in alpha) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
