No thanks, I don't need any more "open" products from Monty the same way MySQL was so open he cried wolf for months when Oracle purchased Sun.
Speaking of open-source, MoSync seems to support: Android (1.5, not 2.0), Moblin 2, Java ME, S60 and Windows Mobile. Out of these 3 are probably 100% open-source (Android, S60, Moblin) while the rest of the bunch have nowhere near the iPhone level of "lock-in". Where is the need for MoSync exactly ?
Not saying I might not use their SDK, I was thinking about http://phonegap.com/ http://phonegap.com/ not long ago (which is also open-source), but I don't see why is he bragging about "open" so much, there is nothing revolutionary to talk about.
- towndrunk 17y agoYea. I think Monty has lost some (maybe a lot) of credibility.
- X-Istence 17y agoHe has lost all of his credibility. When he kept crying about MySQL being sold to Oracle after he sold it to Sun it was not just annoying but it looked pathetic like he wanted to get his old company back now that it was going to what I gather he once considered a competitor. Monty's ranting in general is starting to get annoying and I hope that in the near future he realises that nobody is listening to him and that maybe it is time to call it quits.
