#2Where has this been all these years? No idea if this project works (depends on a local Mac so that ruins it for me), but it kills me that we can AirPlay to TV's and run high resolution with bluetooth keyboard/mouse hookup and still we can't develop on our iPhone/iPad?

#3This is neat. Is it acting most as a GUI to xcode CLI tools that's running on OSX?
Would be a little nicer if they made it clear in the video demo that you need a Mac as a build server and Dropbox for storage.

#4So now that we are on the subject of IDE's for ipads. What are some other nice apps to edit other languages on the go?

#5I wonder if they'll have the Clang static analyzer running in the iPad or they'll parse the syntax through a server. In the former case would be really awesome, and possibly doable given the static analyzer is open source. Wonder how much work is required to parse XIB and storyboards... I'd love to use this on an airplane.

That's what you get when using a platform that's not developer, but app store customer friendly. Without breaking into your own device you can't do much with it, so it's hardly a surprise.

#7Very impressive. Doesn’t seem like the easiest setup to actually do day-to-day coding on. However seems like an awesome tool to do code reviews and small touch ups / demoes on the go.
Really awesome work guys.

#8I've never been interested in Apple stuff, but if you already have a keyboard, why not go keyboard-only, in a way similar to Vim. That should certainly be way more efficient.
And thinking about it, do people realize how much effort is being replicated with these "app stores". There are already plenty of free(as in freedom) editors and IDE's out there, that would need no adaptations(in the case of Vim) whatsoever to run on mobile devices, if only the devices themselves were just a little bit more free.

#9But by requiring a remote build server I can't work without a network.
If I wanted to quick code reviews or checks I could just look at the repository on my iPad.
Still very nice implentation. It must be scary writing a product that squeaks past Apple's rules.

Blame Apple. It's their App Store restrictions that prevent it from happening - Android tablets can do a lot more.
