" summary

Builds a conference schedule app using cross-platform Ruby with Rhodes, deploys native-feeling tabs, maps and contacts to iPhone, Android and BlackBerry, and actually runs on three phones: iPhone Android BlackBerry. Shows the release friction: Apple dev $99 and 3-day review then faster updates, BlackBerry keys $25 plus $200 vendor fee, Android market signup, and a pricey optional backend RhoSync server $5,000. App mostly works, has reload and feedback bugs and some UI sluggishness.
