I can test web apps in IE from my mac without a Windows installation? <br /><br />Visual Studio Pro is about $600 (http://tinyurl.com/nd2w8h - Amazon), which is about the price of a low-end Mac Mini (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/mac_mini?mco=Nzk2MDUyNg). Or you could use your girlfriend's iPhone for a few minutes if you're just trying to debug a web page.<br /><br />Apple also provides tons of good documentation on developing for Safari - http://developer.apple.com/safari/ - I can't see this rant as coming from anything but ignorance, laziness, and unrealistic expectations.Mike Rentashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607721480895998666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34454975.post-45035580705278269682009-09-22T18:25:37.813+02:002009-09-22T18:25:37.813+02:00I'm also put off the inability to develop (or ...I'm also put off the inability to develop (or even test!) things for the iphone outside of apple devices. Apple can shove it.<br /><br />The PhoneGap project, otoh, looks very promising for developing a native app with HMTL/CSS/Javascript ( there are demos in Android Market ). That could be one way to get an app out there.bibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02204924813386531329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34454975.post-31930821905098676662009-09-18T11:35:08.044+02:002009-09-18T11:35:08.044+02:00Adaam, you have no idea how much different they ar...Adaam, you have no idea how much different they areAndrea Giammarchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277820774810688474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34454975.post-18593253132234528502009-09-18T10:56:39.410+02:002009-09-18T10:56:39.410+02:00Wasn't safari 4 windows released just for iPho...Wasn't safari 4 windows released just for iPhone development back in the old iphone application = html days?
