Great Jim, you will like it!

I never developed mobile apps with such a speed. Simply great!

I received email from Erel that there are several new orders using my coupon code and I now have the maximum of additional 4 years of updates. I posted my coupon code here an in PureBasic forum.

You guys should post your coupon codes here too.

Wow, how did you get that done, Cho. I was not that lucky.

Roger Garstang · September 08, 2011, 05:03:33 PM

I only got one so far...no clue if it is from here of Facebook.

David Kenny · September 09, 2011, 02:46:00 AM

You can stop wondering Roger, I used your code. Just forgot to thank you for sharing it.
Thanks!

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S II with Android installed. Wish I had some ideas for developing apps on this thing.... maybe then I would buy this BASIC language.

I think that I need a nice new application to work on. FireFly can only be so exciting and after 4 years of working on it, it can become a little "unexciting".

I understand that feeling, I used to write code using PB + FF but ran out of ideas and some motivation, now I'm hooked on Android I guess this "mobile" + "cloud" stuff seems more interesting, at least for now

How do you like the S II? Did you have any other Androids as a point of reference? I'm thinking of getting one. They come out on Oct 2 here...finally. I heard AT&T dumbed down the Touchwiz though and it is so thin the battery still lasts like 8-10 hours tops with normal usage, so I'm still going to be charging it 1-3 times a day. I thought the AMOLED stuff was supposed to be more efficient on battery (Especially with dark colors/black), but it seems about the same. There is another one you Canadians just got too with almost the same specs but just Super AMOLED (No +) and a slider keyboard I'm hoping we get too. I can't decide between those, the new Atrix 2, or HTC's Holiday that is looking like it may get LTE.

Does this mean we still have to wait for FF 3.5 for a long time?
I look forward to use FF with PB 10 and SQLTools.
I tried to change things, but it does not work.

Hi Klaas,
FF 3.5 is definitely in progress, but don't wait.
I have converted all my programs, they now use PB 10 and SQLTools with the SSL version and had no problems.

Best Regards,
Marc

On an other note, I hope Paul is not giving up on FF.
It is a great designer and it has potential to be much, much, much greater.

Hi Roger,

I don't have much of a reference point because the only other smart phone I had used were the BlackBerry Bold and now the Torch. So far, I love the new phone. Yes, you can drain the battery relatively fast with heavy use... I cancelled my home (landline) phone and now the only phone I use is the Samsung (and the BlackBerry for work).
