So even in that case, it seems like he could offer the option of keeping the session running in the background using audio. If you have a jailbroken device, you can turn off the audio.

Since it is open source - that means if you own a Mac, you can install it yourself. If you don’t want the hassle of revalidating the software every seven days, and want to play with other open source software, pay the developer fee.

I have no plans on becoming an iOS developer professionally, but heck if I owned a Mac I would get a developers license just to play around with developing for iOS and to use third party open source software.

I would love to experiment with Xamarin and other cross platform mobile tech.
