The answers to your questions are on Apple's ipod shuffle page: Yes ... there is a slide on the back to switch between shuffle and straight playlist play. The lowest operating tem…

My 3g would last perhaps 5 hours as I would always skip tracks which really eats up the battery. So far my shuffle is at 10 hours or more and the light is still green indicating t…

How's that for an informative subject line? ;-) Anyway, I need to hire an expert RealBasic developer to make a RSS creation and management system for my company. In many ways, it…

Is RealBasic a requirement? I mean, why not Java, or any other language?

Yes, RealBasic is a requirement. I need to use RealBasic for many reasons, including cross-platform compatibility.

What are the reasons? I can't think of a better portable platform than java.

Actually, it's because I need to learn RealBasic for another project -- so I'd like all my apps to be in the same language.

>What are the reasons? I can't think of a better portable platform than java. I can. Java apps feel icky (IMO) the interface is a little off, the way it starts is a little off …

Yeah, same here. To me, Java apps just don't feel like "real" software (no pun intended).

OT (sorry) Are RB apps real compiled apps on all platforms, or are they like old VB apps which are interpreted...? Are they slow?

I'm pretty sure RealBasic is a compiled language, since (if I recall) you have to create different executables for each platform you want to run it on. So it doesn't seem to be int…
