revMobile to be Launched in 2010; Pre-release Program Now Available
RunRev announced that it will bring its Revolution product line to mobile platforms in 2010. revMobile is a brand new product that will support iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile and Maemo platforms initially. revMobile will be compatible with other members of the Rev product family and uses the company’s revTalk programming language. A modern descendant of natural-language technologies such as Apple’s HyperCard, Rev enables software construction for everyone. With revMobile, developers will be able to develop and deploy to mobile platforms using a single code base, while being able to take advantage of native features on each device. Additionally it will be possible to reuse code across Windows, Mac OS and Linux desktops, popular Web browsers and on Web servers.
revMobile will create standalone applications for each target platform. Due to current requirements iPhone/iPad apps must be submitted compiled and submitted to the Apple App Store for approval, so revMobile will not be available as a web plugin for mobile Safari or have the ability to execute dynamic code at runtime. Windows Mobile and Maemo applications will be able to download and execute dynamic code. Native API support for a number of APIs will be present on all devices.
Developers are invited to join the pre-release program today. The first pre-alpha for Windows Mobile is now available and additional platforms and revisions will be added over the coming months. The pre-release program starts at $799 and includes a number of early participation benefits. The shipping version of revMobile for commercial developers will be $999, with educational pricing still to be announced.
