I want to wait and see if there is a posibility to compile Delphi for iPhone<br>
and/or Android. If Embarcadero are smart enough to jump into that
hugely<br>
growing niche and it eventuates then Delphi could be a killer language<br>
again. Neither of those platforms are likely to see .NET anytime soon
and<br>
are likely to be the biggest development areas over the next 10 years.<br>
Likely to start killing Windows too.<br>
<br>
Thats a prediction, as I saw minicomputers killed by the PC in the 90's<br>
