Io in iPhones?

Peeking in a recent Io checkin, this was in the IoPlayer/_Readme.txt:

An IoPlayer is basically an executable that when launched:

- opens a window with a GL view

- looks in it's launch directory for a main.io file and executes it
  if found or opens an error dialog if not.

- glut input comes from the window and gl output goes to the window

- a debug window with a stacktrace opens upon errors.

The idea is to provide a binary release of Io that can be easily
used to distribute software written in Io.

Such a nice packaging method and metaphor. Players, like in virtual machine players.
