Cool project either way though :)
It's mainly from past acquisitions. One is from a company acquired in 2004, the other a past unused name of an acquired company that was acquired in 2006.
Do you happen to know if there are legal reasons they might be scared of doing that?
There's a couple of domain names that would be great with the startup name we're working with, that are registered by big corporations (in this case two, one belonging to IBM, and one to AOL).The domains in questions aren't being used, they are leftovers from past projects or acquisitions, and just redirect to the mother corp index.Anyone here have any experience whether or not it'd be possible...
Every win you get for "writing code only once" you pay for tenfold (at least) in working around quirks, lack of documentation, unsupported native API's, performance issues, building issues, unannounced API breakage, etc, etc etc. On iPhone it's bareable, although far from pleasurable. Android is to this day barely beta quality despite the company claiming "hundreds of thousands of developers".
Custom modules can usually be built to work around core stuff not working, but involves "guess and try" programming for a long time, as not all APIs are documented/exposed.
Bug reports lie around for months and years, sometimes really critical ones that break major functionality. Pull requests in github also lie untouched for indeterminate amounts of time.
In fairness, things have gotten much better in the last year, but still far from being workable, and to anyone thinking of building anything bigger than a quick prototype of anything in Titanium I'd suggest to rethink, and do a quick Google, that would reveal the hordes of frustrated people and bad reviews.
