"Development update (Logbook Pro, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, etc.)
We get a lot of questions (daily) about pretty much every product out there including iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, BlackBerry, Nokia, you name it! I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know where we are in our development efforts.

First off, realize we are a very small company. Each and every one of these platforms has its own operating system and therefore it's own programming language. This makes it very challenging for a limited number of programmers to cover such a wide range of programming needs. So realize we are doing our best but it takes time, a very long time, to write software applications. We are not Microsoft with 2,000+ people on a development team.

Our main priority is Logbook Pro 2010, the next generation logbook for your PC. This is also laying the foundation for all other platforms to come with our network and database architecture in place for this new system. We are years into this development effort and it looks like mid-2010 for the release, but those of you know that have been hearing about version 2, and any other name we've called it, it will be released only when it's ready. What we sell now is a rock solid feature rich product that serves its purpose very well. We are working though to take what we've established thus far to a new level and up to par with today's Microsoft technologies.

We are also working presently on Logbook Pro iPhone edition. Just as with Logbook Pro 2010, I refuse to tell you a date because if I do, I won't meet it! It's the nature of software. I prefer to release a quality, stable, well tested product rather than just pushing some limited worthless something out the door just to say we have support for it!

Palm Pre users, check these two links for information on using Classic to help you get your classic palm apps working. Link 1 / Link 2. I don't anticipate support for this until after Logbook Pro 2010 releases and subsequently our mobile web architecture.

Android and BlackBerry, probably mid to late 2010. Android is new but we recently received some great news on the developer side for tools in developing for the Android, but it's low priority for us at the moment. I use a BlackBerry myself and would love to support it but there's no rush, we want it to work with Logbook Pro 2010 first and foremost so we are holding off on this.

I hope this gives you a feel of where we are and where we're going. We have a small but very active group of beta testers working along our side in the Logbook Pro 2010 development and testing process. It is coming along nothing short of amazing! I promise you will be happy with what we are producing!"
