What about iPad support? Tested it?

Katrien de Mey (from Nokia) says it gave an error on her iPad, but she just quickly tried it at the office (bad WiFi or something).

She'd love to compare it with the Qt version.... ;)

We discussed the matter with Pieter : the way I'm doing things is not open enough, so we decided we'd go for an opensource solution in the future, thus keeping using my light solution for starters. The idea is to test if people react to that feature or not, is it really worth putting all that effort in the chat ? (i hope so)

The same server could implement both APIs of course, but it would increase the burden on another implementor if they want to host the API for another country, and also have to host the chat stuff. Also, the chat functionality probably is not linked to train information, so we could have different iRail API providers for Belgium, The Netherlands, France, ... but all applications can use one shared chat provider, as long as they use unique train IDs to group the chats.
