Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma on iPhone

Hello

This seems to be quite some wasps nest I have gotten into.

Regarding your answer:

I find it quite amusing that you title Apple as being 'evil'.

If Apple is 'evil' then show me a company that makes money that isn't  
'evil'!

You would rather develop fo Android?
So Google isn't 'evil'?
Really sure?

As much as I can follow your principles:
This 'evil' and 'not evil' theorie for me seems to be quite far off,  
unrealistic and even slightly extraterrestrial.

And there is after all a verson of Enigma for Microsoft Windows.
So if it can be done for Microsoft Windows it might as well be done  
for Apple's iPhone.

Don't make such a FOSS about it!
(sorry, I just couldn't resist)
