@urist: You're right. That's both an assumption and a hope

I'm definitely interested in seeing how the Remote works, coming at it from an iOS developer's perspective
Have to say I'm slightly worried about the app being paid, without there being some kind of real licensing/revenue sharing deal with Bay 12. I see a couple of scenario's panning out for it;
1. The app is a work of love but doesn't really have a lot of sales. Sad, probable, but nothing to worry about.
2. The app has a lot of sales (probably because media jumps on it, mentioning 'DF for the masses!1!'), but still has a lot of issues. All these people come to these forums to complain, without realising that Bay 12 doesn't actually have anything to do with the remote.
3. The app has a lot of sales, and works lovely. It gets even more name-recognition and people start buying it for the great game DF is. However, sadly, Bay 12 sees nothing of this money, and they still have to deal with people's expectations surrounding the app.
The latter two scenario's can be harmful to Bay 12 and should be handled with care.
That said, still looking forward to the remote and especially to the open source code for the server side. Would be neat to make all kinds of interesting little side apps, such as a character viewer for your server
