[squeak-dev] iphone testers for fractions calculator needed

I've built a fractions calculator for the iPhone and need a few folks  
to really test it. (confirm it's sane).

Although there are a number of fraction calculators in the store, none  
do unlimited precision fractions
or unlimited factorials, so I've created one that allows you to enter  
fractions, brackets, floating point numbers, factorials,
all of which are converted to fractions as need be before applying the  
basic math logic via a grammer constructed by
SmaCC. This all of course is based in Squeak.

Cough, well it's not quite complete I''ve only constructed the  
grammer, the SUnits (133) and the basic UIViews.
However folks who are interested in testing should email me, not the  
list, their iphone UUID and I'll add
you as a beta tester.

Ok, a week later I'm 5 versions in and much closer to shipping however I think I need 

Congrats by the new iPhone app.

Could send some screenshots to the list?

Cheers.

It's not in the store yet, or even submitted, but you can find a  
screen shot and a start on help instructions at

Thanks John. Very interesting.

I'm an idea of a little app (see my post "Cuist Target") and I'm
curious if I could develop it all on Squeak (to iPhone) using Morphic
instead Objective-C to the UI.

I will appreciate your opinion about.

Cheers.
Germán.

The graphics engine for the VM requires more work, it has to be moved  
towards open GL.

I'm not betatesting, though I do have an iPhone, anyway, in the text of
http://www.mobilewikiserver.com/Fraction.html you talk about the / key,
but in the screenshot I only see the 1/1 key, which I guess is the same.
Either the doc or the key (or maybe just the screenshot) need to be changed,
I guess.

PD: how did you manage to get Apple to authorize a VM for apple store?
It's expressly forbidden in the EULA, isn't it?

What's not allowed is a "generic" interpreter that you could use to  
deploy apps independent of the app store. But writing "sealed" apps in  
Squeak is no problem.

Thanks for the clarification, now I do understand.

This squeak app went live in the iTunes app store at 6:07pm PST June 3rd, the typical 7 day app review cycle.
