Just so no one does too much wishing this holiday season, don't expect an Android version. As KB has pointed out many times, to write an Android version would require an extensive rewrite. I'm already going to be writing and supporting for 3 platforms (Mac/PC/iOS) in 2 languages (Obj-C/Realbasic) and I am a team of 1. Plus, the iOS version uses some very specific Apple SDKs (Core Data for one) that probably don't translate in the Android SDK. Sorry guys.... perhaps it's time to be assimilated.

Yeah, that's what we need.

Fortunately, your great program works just fine on my Win machine, so no need to assimilate. To bad you couldnt un-assimilate.

Perhaps it's time to...... hire some help, get some venture capital, maybe move your offices to Silicon Valley, sell half your interest to some Chinese investors, buy a fancy sports car and get a movie star girlfriend , give a load of money to some inner city school system, than get made fun of on SNL and finally have a bad movie made about you that makes you look geeky!

Now, you'll still have to carry your own pad along with theres. Bag is another 2lbs heavier. Lets say they give us an Ipad that is a different animal to Fedex owning and letting us use.
They can increase the uniform allowance and let us purchase similar to what we have now. Let me go get another beer.
