Hi Ivan,
We made our NIO based Flash Lite game using Tornado. Really is very exciting!
I hope that wi-fi devices can minimize the barrier between technology and user at low cost.

Okay…as the title states Tornado is coming soon, but does the same go for the Wiki that’s mentioned in the entry? If not, what’s the URL?
