0.1 of Rhodes out, 0.2 release coming

As was announced last week, the 0.1 release of the Rhodes mobile application development work was released last week. It has support for iPhone, Windows Mobile and RIM Blackberry device operating systems. It supports access to native device capabilities with Ruby libraries for access to geolocation information. It ships with a sample application for mobile access to SugarCRM. See the Rhodes spec for more details

The 0.2 release will be out in early January. It adds the following features across all devices:
* a better build process allowing you to build and maintain your applications separately from the Rhodes framework
* incremental sync for RhoSync for much better sync performance
* settable sync sources in interface (so that the user can change the location of what sync server is being used)
* access to PIM information on the local device

The following device operating system specific features are planned:
* Symbian support
* faster load on Windows Mobile
* better UI on Windows Mobile and RIM
