Kobo to develop app independent of Apple?
Caught this article over at MediaBistro about Kobo developing a new iOS app that would be more adaptable to different platforms and potentially free it from Apple's (evil?) clutches.

Interesting... The other thing I wonder about is from a Blog post by the IOS Software Chief Architect at Kobo. His blog is at http://quatermain.tumblr.com/ but read back to http://quatermain.tumblr.com/day/2011/07/11 where he mentions moving to work for Apple. I wonder if moving to a more HTML 5 based solution means less IOS integration?
(Just musing through the top of my head) |

Per his twitter feed, he ended up not taking the job with Apple.
