(http://bit.ly/6meNdP) This may even be better for iPhone apps than whatever Flash concoction that Adobe eventually ends up spitting out!

They have several options in terms of how to get app to you, but you have to remember this is a pre-beta, so a lot of things aren't there yet. They have a good forum thats pretty actively updated that you should keep your eye on for answers to questions like this one.

Other than that, a thing to keep my eyes on, that's for sure :-) Yeap, the pricing is even fuzzier than deployment at this point, which is too bad, because the animation routines seems pretty mature and stable.

What I find weird is their "How much will it cost?" entry in the FAQ. How do they expect anyone to base their business on this framework when they don't say anything about the conditions and pricing? What if I release my project and shortly after that they come up with some terms & conditions that are unacceptable? On the other hand I'm sure that a lot of work went in this framework. Since interpreted languages are not allowed on the iPhone, it means they have to compile the Lua code into native code - they can't just run it on Lua's virtual machine. Pretty cool!
