Yes, it seems to have the most freedom. With the release of the NDK, porting C code becomes much easier too. I expect to see more langauages and scripting tools to appear eventually on Android.

App structure resembles Rails. The OS gives you a lot of built-in functionality with very little coding. It supports HTML 5 so you can use databases client-side. -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
