Re: [libreoffice-design] Impress remote

I know there has been discussion as to what programming languages to 
use, and I would like to add my 2 cents here.

If one plans to release this for mobile devices, such as android phones 
or iphones I would try and keep the language in c/c++ as both platforms 
can compile those languages.

Android uses the NDK to compile code for android devices with out 
massive rewriting of it into java, and iOS supports c/c++ out of the 
box. I must say this would be something I would find very useful to have 
on a smartphone device especially when giving presentations :)

Looking forward to testing this out :)
