@davidgilling: two words - you know what they are...
@phaelox: obviously you have been around the block

thank you for the non childish reply.
i couldnt post a followup yesterday, because the moderator took away my permissions from being able to reply to this post. im unsure as to why, i didnt think that my first post was slanderous in any way. i was just simply posting a comment about the release. now, today i am able to reply - so i will.
i understand the good side to 'sharing' software. honestly i dont see anywhere in my post that said that i was all 'pi$$y' about it or anything. the only thing that i said was that i wished it could have been given a couple more days before it was released

- in fact, i talked to my business partner about it, and we both feel that its not only a learning experience, but as mentioned in the other post, its a good way to get the application out there, might not be ideal for the 'garage band' style developer trying to make a few bucks, but good none the less.
thank you for the time to post something intelligent.. as well as in the other post as well. it was a good read.
@paso: i understand that as well. trust me, we have posted our complaints to google with regards to their 'beta' market. there are a lot of things missing, and out of sync with the way things need to be. even more than just not being able to access applications from other countries. there are a lot of missing links between the developer and the market as well.
forgive me for not understanding the first paragraph (rooting a g1 to access the market) as i am pretty new to the android development scene.
but yes.. with regards to the archos, thats the only reason that i havent thought about buying one.
@the rest: fortunately the feedback that we have received on the free version has given us some direction on where to proceed. yes, the cost was too high for the application. we only went on what we were told. some of the feedback we received went to our heads when it came to releasing the application.
anyway - as mentioned earlier - please consider purchasing if you can (we dropped the price to a much more reasonable 4.99 to assist in the future of this tool). we are very open to feedback, and honestly look forward to seeing just how far this application can go.
@lifehacker (or other moderators involved): cuz i know you pay attention. thank you for allowing me to post a followup message.
