RIA News Day - iPhone SDK, JavaFX on Blu-Ray

While the RIA digerati are here at MIX there's a lot of other stuff going on in the world of rich Internet applications. The iPhone SDK was releasedY and it looks like Apple is making one heck of a platform play. The apps that they showed off look really cool and they've managed to transcend the device from phone to something that's very compelling for developers. Could this be Apple's RIA platform? Quicktime, HTML, JavaScript and Cocoa/Cocoa Touch?

Also in the news today was some information about JavaFX and the Blu-ray specification. It turns out that the Profile 2.0 spec for Blu-ray adds a networking ability so you could start building things on the players creating an interesting living room development model. What makes it interesting for Sun is that JavaFX is part of the Blu-ray spec so if you get networking support and JavaFX support some creative Java types could go to town.

Interesting day all in all for RIAs.
