It also appears that the app icons on the “home screen” change orientatio...

This event was the first after our traditional old BorCon (Borland Conference).Because of the acquisition last year and many other things going on, we weren't able to put on a...

If you are following me on Twitter, probably read some of my message mentioning "message sent from Delphi Twitter client" and it was true.

Look likes our Technology Partner TMS Software is very happy with Delphi 2010, on this post they said.

Best of all this does not come at a price, quite the contrary, more features, more capabi...
