Anybody thinking about it? Working on it? Big job/small job?
Just curious...
The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript
engine. Because of that, a mobile version of SeaMonkey (or any other
Mozilla browser) would not be allowed on iOS devices.
I find that curious, as Safari is Mozilla based (if it's UA string is
any indication) and it's on both iOS and OS X...so it's more like a
"big
job" for a re-write/port, and not a "prohibition" per se?..
If it's just a matter of syncing bookmarks, history, tabs, and
passwords, SeaMonkey 2.1 will be able to sync data with the Firefox
Home
app.
Unless you don't use Firefox...but the import/export to HTML will
let me
work around that, so that's ok.
In addition to Chris' Comments. Safari is webkit based. Also so is iCab.
...ok, that detail makes a bit more sense, and explains something I've
seen on a website - I think. Why does this site give me a Webkit
notice/flag when I go there with SM's default User Agent? -

...still, it doesn't sound like it's "impossible" to port SM to iOS -
just a lot of work.
It’s a shame that FireFox , Thunderbird, Camino , SeaMonkey could be
used on an iOS device What can't apple's version of JavaScript not work
in Mozilla Products. for my opinion Safari is pretty lame and Mail is
even worse.
I'm going to have to look at what makes Apple's JavaScript
different...just for my own education. I thought "Java" was Java?
Wasn't that supposed to be the point?
I like Apple Mail because of it's simplicity, though I do still use SM
Mail in order to take advantage of the SM suite concept. If Safari and
Mail worked as a suite, and Mail.app had a newsreader, I'd consider the
pair as an alternative...
Java is Java but JavaScript is a different animal altogether. JavaScript
was scripting language actually created by Netscape (Mozilla). Its odd
that that now there is a Mozilla version of JavaScript and an Apple
Version.
JavaScript, AppleScript, and even ActiveX are types of Scripting
languages. But they are Totally Different and are in no way compatible.
Yes, I understand all that...I was just hoping for enough commonality
that it fall to syntax adjustments seeing as it was just variations
of/in Javascript engines, but that's not the case.
I guess that's kind of thing that can happen in an open source
environment...
