Hi, Aopaq!
The New Year's Eve is on Feb 8th, 2005. The Chinese New Year will begin at Feb 9th to 15th. And the National Lantern Festival will arrive at Feb 23th.
Do you have a plan about that date?

Thanks very much for the info Daisy! I am planning my first visit to China and had heard that it is best to avoid the New Year time since it is such a busy travel period for local Chinese. As it is I am probably travelling around mid-January so there shouldn't be a problem. Does that sound reasonable? By the way, any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I was impressed with your Great Wall hiking and Xi'an camera tips!

Hi,Brian! First, thanks for your appreciation:D
Why would chooes that time to China? Which part will you visit? You know, it will be very cold at that time if you head to the northern part.
I think the problem you mentioned is the high season for transportation, right? But I think it will much better if you can spend a Chinese Spring Festival in China! It is a good chance to feel the Chinese custom in person during this special period:D

GUESTCLAIRA : I’m a web developer, not an aonrdid developer–but typing from my aonrdid phone. A few thoughts @Ken, Thanks for your feedback! Your first point is exactly what I was thinking, and is my primary motivation for wanting to give this to the community once I make it work for me (or even before then, depending on how the development goes). I assume by Win7 you are referring to the Windows 7 Phone series, and not the desktop OS. If so, I'd definitely like to see that happen as well, though for faster adoption and higher interest, I think I'd want to put it on the iPhone platform first.Your third point gives me hope; I sometimes wonder if that's the case particularly for the kind of app design I'm hoping to streamline with this project. I think games will probably never migrate away from native code, simply for performance reasons if nothing else. But I can imagine that HTML5 and better browser implementations may evolve on mobile devices to the point that something like AML won't be as appealing to a developer because, while it is easy, just building a web page for a mobile device is even easier and accomplishes 90% of their goal.For your fourth point, that also is a really interesting idea. I'm not sure if that would have enough perceived benefit for developers though, since the visual limitations of most mobile devices might make it seem like making your web app the exact same structure as your mobile app would be a bad idea. You can do so much more with HTML5 and CSS3 that if all you had was a mobile-like interface, a full desktop web visitor could be dissatisfied. Perhaps AML could strip out non-mobile-friendly elements from the design though during the native mobile conversion process hmm. That will be good to keep in mind while I keep working on it!
