The iPhone SDK has an emulator that is used to test applications
without having to download to an iPhone/iTouch.
As far as porting Rev stacks to work on the iPhone a whole new set
of controls will need to be created. All apps use the underlying
control structures of the iPhone. You really can't get around this.
For instance if you want a row of buttons 'outside' of the SDKs
button bar(menu bars) you have to embed a set of graphic buttons in
a field object on the iPhone. You can not roll your own objects. So
if a port did happen 'All' of the controls would be unique to the
iPhone.
I have been building iPhone interfaces in Revolution for a year now
and we have been using them as prototypes for a cocoa developer to
rewrite in CocoaTouch. There are a lot of 'new' approaches to
consider when developing for the iPhone. Aspect Ratio, Horizontal
and/or Vertical, Scrolling interfaces, button resolution, image
resolution, resizing, mouse over states, mouse still down, pinch,
double tap.
All of these commands are called with rather simple commands from
within the SDK but take a lot of extra time to emulate from within
Revolution (this is a first that I've seen) or are completely
impossible to emulate except in the most rudimentary way. So I go
for a look and feel and adhere to the SDKs expected behavior. I
actually have to write a "Variations" document to describe the
differences for our Cocoa developers but because I have the
Revolution Prototype I can skimp on the Engineering development
documents and most of the SOW as well, which I usually include at
the beginning of the Variations document. By the way this is a
great way to make sure that offshore developers will give you
exactly what you asked for which is a real problem for most
offshore development projects.

very interesting developments
Thanks, Tom
