I believe that native ARM development is (or at least was) being
explored for Delphi - but we are unlikely to see it for at least 2 years.

Malcolm forgot to show a really cool feature - one he showed in
Christchurch - the ability to add your own data visualizers for code
debugging. Apparently there are some 3rd party providers already!

With all due respect Jolyon, your poll is unscientific and you can't
draw any meaningful conclusions from it.
I can draw more meaningful conclusions from that than from a 10:1 number
plucked seemingly from the air.

I'd also add that it wasn't a poll.
I passed on the news (the headline didn't even hint at what the news was,
nor the summary presented by DelphiFeeds). There wasn't much in the way of
any potential pre-qualification of readers of that blog post.
In that sense it was perhaps *more* scientific
re: 64bit vs cross platform
I totally understand why Jolyon and others that want 64 bit are
peeved. Embarcadero has mislead them a number of times now and I was
shocked to here in Auckland that it will be another 2 years.
However I am not one of those people waiting for 64 bit. I think

Response to the news that I have seen is a mixture of *shock* or at least
surprise as well as dismay.
In other words, people were *expecting* 64-bit.

necessarily make a point of asking

Dear Paul,
The only hassle is porting from D7 to D2010 with respect to Unicode.
After reading a very comprehensive blog by Jolyon Smith, I am quite
concerned about D.s current unicode support. I've had enough trouble with
it in other environments to want to face the maze that appears to be
I strongly suggest forming your own opinion. While I don't read the
blog I've converted a number of applications to Delphi 2009 / 2010 and
haven't come across anything that was a great hassle to fix. Perhaps I
didn't run into any issues raised in the blog, who knows. You never
will know if you
On that note, and because I have done NO reading on the subject, my
understanding is this with the unicode stuff
I use AsyncPro with delphi 7.
When data is received in the onreceived event, the data is passed in as a
