Since conjecture is fun, my guess is it will be Windows development support, meaning the Corona SDK dev tools and simulators will run on Windows. Seems very possible given their compiler backend is in the cloud, and the simulator already is an abstraction across multiple devices and Open GL is cross platform, so a “simulator” on Windows could work…
I know Ansca will get another 15 minutes of fame if they do this (albeit more in the tech community) because “Develop iOS Apps Easily on Windows” would get quite a bit of interest.
I can speak first hand, since I built an iPhone Web Browser simulator for Windows called iBBDemo. I built it using Adobe Air (oh the irony!) and I got a TON of interest from developers, and that was only a goofy little utility that took advantage of Air embedding Webkit!
BTW, I bought Corona in Nov and I am just now diving in. Wow, what a great platform, and I can feel the enthusiasm dripping off the team at Ansca! This should be fun.

@Arty, Carlos’ blog post mentioned a “Simple SVG parser”, but it looks a hand coded jobber… [import]uid: 10745 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18345[/import]
For some reason I thought it was 2pm aswell, I hate timezones. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18348[/import]
Actually, the simple “SVG” browser is more than a simple hand-coded svg parser.
It does quiet a lot. It is built on top of an XML parser …
@ianchia on twitter has the best insight into the SVG Parser functionality.

No slight. — But actually, one of our Board Advisors, who I used to work for at Adobe, who was in charge of the Illustrator/SVG group, wrote the Corona lua SVG parser. Then I modified it to fit my needs. It is our own cooked SVG parser that I hope to release it open source as soon as the madness settles down.

… maybe the possibility to build for PSP and/or DS?
Best

Certainly loving all the speculation talk, I can’t wait to hear what it is!
“… maybe the possibility to build for PSP and/or DS?”
Now that would be something. Though if people complain about dealing with Apple (which is a breeze IMO), I can only imagine what they’ll be saying if they have to deal with Sony and Nintendo.

Oh god, Lot Checks and submission guidelines. Never again. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18364[/import]
Ah I thought it was going to be 2pm UK time today as that was what i ahd read on twitter. 9:01am (eastern).
Guess it changed. lol. I wondered why I could find no info on it.
Cheers

@Carlos, Can’t wait for more to be exposed!
I hope my comment wasn’t taken as a slight. I was simply repeating what was said in your blog, as well as pointing out that it didn’t look like you were using any library functions. [import]uid: 10745 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18357[/import]
Ah, I see it’s PST not Eastern time now 
@jmp909 you are correct at 5pm UK. bummer an extra 3 hours to wait

the most important feature that corona needs is to be able to include iads or admob because that translates directly to money for the developer
but i’ll still be very interested in the new feature because it could still be just as nice as ads
this is terrible though having to wait and not knowing what it is…
can’t carlos provide some hints leading up to the announcement? [import]uid: 8561 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18392[/import]
and the oscar goes to…
oh… wrong channel
never mind

Well looking at Carlos Post it seems that we will be able to import Vector Graphics into Corona. This means complex objects drawn by corona and being used maybe even by the physics model. The drawing that he is talking about though it’s massive. This will be interesting.
After watching another post from Carlos. I think we will get another dimension soon. [import]uid: 8192 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18420[/import]

About 50 mins ago (8:35pm PST right now), @ansca posted this on twitter:
“ansca: All systems are “GO” here at Ansca. Tuesday January 25th 6:01AM PST. Mobile Development will never be the same. @ansca #coronaSDK”
So… idk if 6:01 was a typo, but that’s when I’m checking in [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 5435 reply_id: 18440[/import]
no typo 6:01 am
