Thanks.

A quick reading of the following applications seems to show the same theme involving a master application?
Method for application authoring employing an application template stored in a database, Appl No: 20110023022
Method for application authoring employing a pre-certified multi-platform master application template, Appl No: 20110023016
Method and apparatus for modifying an executable application using in-memory object representation, Appl No: 20110023014
Method for distributing a certified application employing a pre-certified master application template, Appl No: 20110023012
Method and system for authoring multiple application versions based on audience qualifiers, Appl No: 20110022637
Method and system for authoring and distributing multiple application versions based on audience qualifiers, Appl No: 20110022603

Does the prior art submitted for one application apply to the other applications, based on the Claims?

I agree that 20070220583 is prior art. Today is the last day to submit prior art for this patent application.

Can you submit it today?
If I don't see it submitted later today, I'll submit it and mention that it was found by Isabella Yamin.
Thanks.

In taking a look at Method and system for authoring and distributing multiple application versions based on audience qualifiers, Appl No: 20110022603 I think the application Isabella mentions could be used as prior art for that patent application. Currently that application has no prior art, and today is the last day of review for that application also.

I'll submit 20070220583 as prior art and mention Isabella Yamin as the finder of the prior art.
Thanks.

This patent application is broadly defined. A "subset" of the ideas has been done before in digital media realm particularly video games and movie dvds where certain scenes or words may be omitted according to the ratings chosen at first. One thing novel about this is to differ audience by gender. I wonder how this aspect of application differentiation will be carried out.
