Hi,

just a quick note to let everyone know that it is now possible to run  
Ruby on the iPhone:

Terminal App: [Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/)  
Ruby binaries: [http://iphone.natetrue.com/](http://iphone.natetrue.com/)

I haven’t tested this myself as I have no iPhone.  
It looks damn cool, though. Reports from people with iPhones trying  
this are very welcome. 🙂

Now we only need someone to make UIKit available to Ruby and it will  
be possible to build applications for the iPhone in Ruby. Wouldn’t  
that rock?

Kind regards,  
Florian G.

I wonder if it’s possible to install RubyCocoa? If so, UIKit might be  
within closer grasp than it seems.

Anybody wanna donate their iPhone to me for haxorizing? 😃
