I don't want to sound harsh but if the original page of SIO2 said "Free Open Source Game Engine" but the license is not Open Source then SIO2 was a complete SCAM and the y should burn in hell. On the other hand how can someone write a book about Open Source Software and not reading the license of SIO2 first? On this days some companies are using the words "Open Source" to promote Free of Charge but not really Open Source products hoping to get lot of beta testers and potential costumers. I really like your books, TonyM, and I'm waiting for the next one. I hope this terrible mistake makes the Open Source Community learn about the difference between Free Apps (Sculptris, Indigo Render) and really Free Open Source Software. TonyM…

The good news is that things are ahead of schedule, so with a little luck that date might get pushed up earlier. That's what I'm hoping anyway! Hi Glenn, there’s no such option as far as I know.

I considered using SIO2 but went the Unity way for my first project... It will be a great read .... does Sybex offer any RAW or Rough Cuts like option? Published date of March 2010 seems an awfully long time from now .... Tony, looking forward to your book.

It was fun to get a bit more up-close and personal with Bullet, too. I don't deal with Bullet all that much in the book, but I did have occasion to call a couple of bt functions, and I'm definitely looking forward to working with it more in the future! Thanks, Erwin.

It would be great if there was a way to develop for a platform like this in an open way, but at present there aren't many options. Perhaps if Google has some success with Android the possibilities will expand. Opening up a mobile phone platform for general development has a lot of challenges, and I think it's still kind of an experimental thing. You have to make sure the system is secure, and you'd ideally like to have an environment where people can earn money for their work. The iPhone/iPod Touch platform is a really cool platform to develop for and the iTunes store has been a very successful way for independent developers to get their work distributed and sold. I'm very interested to see if Google can attain something like that level of success with their open approach. I'd love to see them manage to, although I'm a bit allergic to Java, so I'm not sure if it'd be for me anyway. @qwerty, I understand how you feel.
