The largest request that I seem to hear from users is that they would like to target the iOS platforms. Apple iOS devices seem ubiquitous these days, and MoSync is now filling the gap. The highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>support for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) &#8211; read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosync.com\/documentation\/manualpages\/developing-iphone-applications\">hints to help develop iOS applications<\/a> (you want to read this, especially if you&#8217;re doing some development on Windows; you will need XCode and a Mac to run it)<\/li>\n<li>Android 2.2 support &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosync.com\/documentation\/manualpages\/developing-android-applications\">read hints to help develop Android applications<\/a><\/li>\n<li>ARM recompiler for Symbian 3rd and 5th edition devices<\/li>\n<li>Bluetooth client\/server library<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s also improved documentation, with example applications. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosync.com\/documentation\/manualpages\/btserver\">btServer<\/a> (makes use of the Bluetooth features) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosync.com\/documentation\/manualpages\/mapdemo\">MapDemo<\/a> (good example with various map sources).<\/p>\n<p>While there are no binaries for Linux users, there is a guide on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosync.com\/documentation\/manualpages\/building-mosync-source-linux\">how to build MoSync using Ubuntu<\/a>. I&#8217;ve not tried it recently, and the guide is a bit dated, but I expect it to work without too many issues.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20MoSync%202.4%20pre-beta%20available%20with%20some%20juicy%20new%20features&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2010%2F09%2F26%2Fmosync-2-4-pre-beta-available-with-some-juicy-new-features&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
