I have been working
on a Linux-Apps-on-iPhone-&-iPad solution, called QMole, for
the last two years.
QMole's intention is twofold: 1)
enable graphical Linux
applications on the IOS platform and
2)
enable on-iPad development without the need for an Apple
developer account. Given the
massive user base of the IOS platform, this is a potentially big
step for the Linux platform as
a whole.
This comes against a backdrop of every greater encroachment on
user choice and freedom.
Now a user who has root access to the hardware they legitimately
purchased is deemed to
"jailbreak" suggesting somehow that this is not legitimate. Yet
all the user has done
is what would be a matter of course with any other, non
smartphone, computer platform.
Linux fought this battle before in a different dimension: with
Windows.
People have taken this victory for granted. Like elsewhere,
freedoms not watched over, erode.
I want to reverse this trend before it is too late --- as the
smartphone takes over from PC.
That is why I created QMole. I am hoping to unleash a tide of
Linux users and more importantly
developers to descend on the dominant smartphone platform.
