Forgive me Felix...for I have read the blog posting concerning the native app, appreciate the desire for quality in what you put out and your insistence on the secrecy of it's development...but this better be a mind-blowing, game-changing, unbelievable application when it comes out. It has been in development WELL over a year. Since that time I have watched competitor after competitor come out with their own apps. Update them again and again and still nothing for Remote Buddy.
I got into Remote Buddy at the beginning, before it was even 1.0, and I have always given you credit through that time at being WAY ahead of the other apps with this software. Even during the initial growing pains the development and design was great and showed it's future promise. As a freelance consultant Remote Buddy was a staple app I had every customer I setup buy it and taught them how to use it I loved it so much.
But I got to tell you, the no native app aspect was a deal breaker for me. The AJAX remote just never did it for me. It was inspired under the days of "web apps only", but once the native apps started coming out he felt horribly long in the tooth. Not to mention, as remotes start getting lost and when Apple stopped shipping them with systems altogether, having a remote app on your iPhone or iPod Touch became essential.
It was such a deal breaker I stopped using Remote Buddy altogether a bit back now. Saddens me too. I miss it. Once in a while I fire it back up and sit there fumbling around with the sluggish AJAX remote and again give up, quit the program and shelve it again to collect dust until this promise of a native app one day comes true. It has long since dropped from my list of must have apps on your new Mac for customer's as well. I can't fully stand behind the AJAX remote. So both my own use and my client's has moved on to a competitor.
And damn I hate that.
My mother has an old saying, "Shit or get off the pot"
I really think you need to do this with this native app Felix....sorry
