</div></div>Hi Jason,<br>
<br>
I've used Rhodes on Blackberry phones, fairly newer models.<br>
<br>
The main reason I chose it was because it looked so similar to Rails<br>
and you get to write Ruby (in ERB templates). But in the end all it<br>
does is creates a native web server, that is embedded within the app<br>
that serves the pages. The load time is noticeable, while the web<br>
server loads up. It is only a few seconds, but ... it isn't native,<br>
and the interface is all web pages.<br>
<br>
The slug the framework produces is about 1.9MB in size, compared to<br>
<100KB a native app would. 1.8MB is there constantly plus your app.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Alex<br>
