[X3D-Public] X3D on iPhone

[Michael Aratow]

John:

You might want to consider an Android based X3D browser, as Verizon is 
about to release the "Droid" which I think will have significant market 
penetration, and I believe the Android App Market is more lenient than 
Apple in application restrictions.

Thanks,

Mike Aratow
