A couple of customers have emailed us about dishpointer being released for the Android OS (with iPhone screenshots, no less) and asked if we’re going to port DishLoc. The quick answer is ‘No’. The long answer is ‘Maybe’. It really depends on the feedback we get from potential customers. Right now we’re working on something a bit more advanced than DishLoc so we’d like to focus our efforts on that, but if the market is there, we’d of course do a port.
We’ve also been informed that some of our more zealous supporters have been posting links to the OSNews article whenever they see dishpointer mentioned. Please stop doing this at once!
Just kidding! I think they deserve it for the underhanded way they tried to get us off the app store, and I think its perfectly reasonable to want consumers to know about the people they’re buying from. If company A tried to force company B out of the computer sales market by lying to the computer parts supplier, would you feel good about buying computers from them?
I’ve just had the same thing happen to me, but with an ironic twist!
I just received an email from Apple advising me that a company called Enso Mobile believed that my series of apps “Artist’s Reference” was infringing on their series call “Art Model.” The email was of the now-famous “sort it out in five days or we might take your app down” variety.
I went to look at Enso’s apps and, yes, they were quite similar to mine. Not only to my “Artist’s Reference” series, but also to my “Anatomy of Yoga” series, which came out before any of theirs!
So, I’ve asked apple to take all of their apps down, based on their similarity to Anatomy of Yoga. Mutually Assured Destruction. But I may be less mad in the morning

P.S. I also do real programming. But my wife, who’s an artist, thought that these would be useful.
