Hi Jeffrey -

Just saw the newsletter article on revolution and U3 apps. I am a bit
confused about why you would need U3 compatibility with Rev since you
can make standalones that do not require anything to be installed and
run fine from a flash drive (i actually keep a couple of my rev cdrom
multimedia apps on a flash drive to show off, easier than carting CDs
in your pocket!). so im wondering what the U3 specifications are
adding for rev.
I think it's more about what Rev can add to U3 (and therefore what Rev
developers can earn from selling their U3 apps). Rev is absolutely ideal
for creating U3 apps.
is just adding a standard set of extra DLLs you might want to have
access to? they have a little start panel you can get onto for the
drive. something to just say you are U3 enabled? it seems like having
to jump through U3's hoops rather than much rev has to do than it
already does. Sorry i just smell more marketing here than technology,
but maybe im wrong and if so would be interested in hearing other
views. There is no mention of licensing fees (or potential future
ones) on their site for U3, but its not very explicit content to make
a firm decision on.
Is there something wrong with opening up new markets for Rev apps? I
*hope* it's about marketing! I mean, think about it... if we build
things for which there is no market, who have we benefitted? Unless I'm
using Rev for self-amusement only, I would have to say "no one".
Also the article stated you would need an enterprise license to do
U3. isnt this just another version of the XP engine? Shouldnt you be
able to make standlanones with this engine like you can with a studio
license like all the other current platforms (the article stated you
required an enterprise license, but maybe thats only for the beta?)
the thing that i would really love to see with rev is downsizing to
the pocket PC market where i could really fun things to do with rev...
I would like that too... the more markets opened to Rev apps (and
therefore to me as developer), the better...
Thanks -
Phil Davis
