  1. Release Date list appears just as messed up as rankings list has been, so I suspect we haven't seen the final version. Reserving judgment.
  2. After looking (on-device) at the release date list, I'm finding it hard to understand what the ranking is. New rel? Date? ABC? It's all over
  3. @KarenJirak @MarkusN Yeah, I'm in Chicago, but it's watch Tivo time for me. I think there was a new Fringe this week to catch up on. 'nite!
  4. @KarenJirak One thing Apple DOES let devs do is promote w/in your app. ESD's on other platforms make you point to their site, not yours. grr
  5. @KarenJirak Also what will work on the iPhone platform is the cross-sell. Write apps that work together and old customers will buy next app.
  6. @KarenJirak Also solving someone's problem. Look at what's at the top. Bar code scanners are both cool and useful, for example.
  7. @KarenJirak I don't think it's a target category, but something "cool" you can do w/the tech. People like the level because, well, it's cool
  8. What gets me is that volume is great--Date Wheel (not our flagship) has now sold nearly as many as w/Palm over the years--but grossed 1/6.
  9. @MarkusN Yes, I would agree there--and you can expense 'em!
  10. @KarenJirak @MarkusN Date Wheel has been out for 11 weeks now & we've been in Business top 100 most days. I see games go up & down quick.
  11. @KarenJirak @MarkusN I'm still optimistic, but we don't do games. We're after "appstore B". I think games are a much tougher market.
  12. @MarkusN We're just 2, my husband and I--and I don't code in OOP. Time is our problem. We're targeting iPhone, then probably Android and RIM
  13. @MarkusN I blogged about the math: http://bit.ly/Zud8u which includes a spreadsheet I put together of all mobile platforms.
  14. One thing is the code portability: C/C++/Obj-C, Java, RIM's Java flavor, C#, webOS. We're doing most code in C & only UI device-specific.
  15. @KarenJirak We've looked at doing multi-platforms because we used to do PalmOS. Changing is tough--lots of reasons, which I'm looking at.
  16. @mmartel @MarkusN I saw it briefly this AM but haven't been online since--running last min errands for my 9 y/o daughter's b'day today.
  17. According to Date Wheel day count I've set up, Serving Sizer's been in review for 9 days. Given AppStore freeze, sadly hoping it's longer.
  18. New "Status History" in iTC?
  19. @lilwhitebear Yeah, now the on-device store matches the iTunes store. In the ol' PalmOS days, hacking app archive rankings was too common.
  20. Is the ranking mess-up on iTunes only? Not seeing it on-device AppStore. Will have to fire up the Mac and see if we've gotten lucky. ;)
