ABSTRACT
Rhodes is an open source Ruby-based MVC framework for building locally executing, device-optimized mobile applications which run on all smartphone devices. It is similar concept to frameworks such as Rails, Merb and Django but is much lighterweight in order to run locally on smartphones with limited memory and resources.
Rhodes is primarily targeted at applications that work with synchronized local data from server application backends, using the other source component RhoSync . Rhodes also allows you to take advantage of native device capabilities such as GPS, PIM contacts and camera. Yet the majority of your interface development is done by modifying HTML templates. Rhodes is available for iPhone, Windows Mobile and Research in Motion, Symbian and Android smartphones. In this session we'll demonstrate building a mobile app from scratch which runs on all of these devices.
Rhomobile is the open mobile framework company. Our mission is to build open source components to facilitate building crossplatform mobile apps quickly and with a great user experience. Our components include the Rhodes framework, the RhoSync synchronization server and the RhoVer mobile app provisioning server.

Such a shame the quality of this video is so bad. Would be great to make it available in 720p or 1080p, especially for the text displayed in this video which is currently almost unreadable.

I'm curious about the "Ask" method that is mentioned @ 50:43 . Is this still supported? If not, how does one overcome the problem of needing data from a back end web service immediately rather than using the sync functionality.

Do you guys still support db4o in Rhodes?

Er,, UI quality in smartphone app frameworks is not a differentiator. Ruby+device capabilities+sync is.

OK, UI is pretty weak, should look at Pyxis Mobile if this peaks your interest
