If they are able to get the UIKit framework up and running, then they will have the killer platform overall.
I can see already the advantages for games that are mostly OpenGL but with UIKit it will be 'game over' :-)
Apportable looks extremely interesting for our company. Can you give us an indication of how far we can get right now with a UIKit based app (no game, no OpenGL) and Apportable? I couldn't find any documentation about this on the web.
I assume and hope your upcoming announcement is regarding non-game apps. :)
I am :-)... already signup for the free plan, and I can see the Indie plan has the "Advanced framework"
Suggestion: you may want to have somewhere a screencast showing a standard UIKit app demoed, may be the standard Widget catalog demo that's available with Apple SDK.
