Election Day is Here! We Need You!

by Marc

THANK YOU to everyone who nominated us for the BestAppEver contest! Thanks to your help, eWallet and Kings Corners have made it to the finals for the BestAppEver! This means that out of 17,758 nominations for 1,259 applications, eWallet and Kings Corners made it to the Top Ten for multiple lists. What’s more, eWallet got SO many votes that it is now up for the mother-of-all awards - the Best iPhone Application Ever! You guys rock!

Now it’s time for the big game! With the field narrowed to 10 applications per category, the final voting begins. We need your vote! As before, we’ve made it easy! Just:

CLICK RIGHT HERE TO VOTE

We need you! I’d shake your hand and kiss your babies if I could! OK, maybe that’s a little creepy, but you get the idea. Voting ends on January 6th! Winners are announced on January 7th!

Thank you!!!

PS: Yep, we’re making eWallet for Mac! I just got a new build. Card display looks great! Some additional UI elements are coming in the next week or so. Woot!

PSS: Yes, we’re still planning ListPro for iPhone. We’re experimenting with ways of transferring data. We’ll keep you updated!

Podcast with Todd Ogasawara

by Ellen

Todd Ogasawara, who runs one of my very favorite blogs: the really excellent MobileAppsToday, did a podcast interview with Marc and me yesterday. It’s published on his site and I’m going to add the player here once I make sure it will work.

We talk about products, platforms, trends and how to find us at CES and MacWorld next week.

Here’s the player, if you want to hear it directly:

There are seven apps - today - in the iTunes app store with a name containing “iFart”.

I’m just amazed.

Support Snowed Under

by Ellen

We got a lot of snow last night, and it’s still going on, so we’re a little short-handed, and it may be a little harder than usual to reach us today phone or email. We’re here, so don’t hesitate to email or leave a message, but please be patient about getting an answer quite as quickly as usual from us. Thanks for your patience!

Holiday Thanks

by Ellen

If you’re reading this, we want to thank you for all the support you’ve given us this past year (and other years too). Reviewers, readers, people who link to us, comment on our posts, and use our products: we couldn’t do what we do without all of you!

I’d like to thank everyone in person, but I still can’t teleport (not for lack of trying). So I’ll just thank everyone here, and of course wish you happy holidays (whichever ones you observe) as well.

Looking forward to another exciting year,
