Hi there!
Since I bought DBPro I have been developing pieces of code to get me inspired and learn the language. I also have GLBasic and one major feature missing from DBPro to really stand out is the ability to export to android, iPhone or such.
Are there any plans to this features in near future?

Probably not. I couldn't tell you the specifics of it, but DBPro probably can't export to android or iphone. Plus, DBPro is Directx relient, which (at least I think) isn't on the iphone. You would have to learn another language to export to iPhone (I heard it is Objective-C, which I also heard sucks). Sorry I can't tell you more, but I know pretty much nothing about C++ or C, except how to have command line text

Codesurge is so awesome, thanks Hyrichter.

Unless Android and iPhone use DirectX, which I'm 99.9% sure they don't, this isn't possible.

That sucks big time!
But I understand that dispite being DirectX dependent, couldn't we work it around? How do they do it in GLBasic?

We can't work around it. darkbasic is practically a directX wrapper.

Well, OpenGL has dominated the portable device market for quite some time, but it appears that Microsoft has created a portable version of Xbox live to run on Windows Mobile devices. Who knows? Win Mobile could become very popular...

Imagine this: there may exist infinite parallel universes, all similar to ours, but we may never be able to encounter or even interact with them.

Thats right.
Windows Phone 7 packs DirectX right?
How about a DBPRO to win phone 7 compiler?

From what I have read, it seems that Windows 7 Phone packs DirectX 9.0c!

Maybe so but the windows phone 7 is using xna and silverlight for programming apps so I am highly doubtful that anything written here in dbpro will work. Here is the link to their developer site where you can get the free tools http://developer.windowsphone.com/ android and iphone have similar kits.
