Anyone tried to build Pd with the iPhone SDK? It seems like it should be pretty straightforward, since it has CoreAudio. I'll bet even Tcl/Tk will run on it.
Doesn't Apple have to sign your binaries before they'll run on the iPhone hardware?
According to a random blog post:
"Since all iPhone applications must be properly signed for iTunes to process them and for the iPhone to load them..." http://www.tuaw.com/2008/01/28/rumors-iphone-application-key-reportedly-leaked/
I find the idea of spending time porting FOSS software to such a restrictive platform completely uninteresting. When they allow the freedom for users to run the software they choose on the hardware that they have purchased and legitimately own 100%, then it might be worth paying attention again.
Best,
