Guest Shire29 Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I've not downloaded this yet, still have not unlocked my phone, me is scaredy cat, but wanted to offer praise and admiration anyway, well done m8. Keep up the good work, this type of development was one of the things that attracted me to the Smartphone platform in the first place. Finish Doom and I'll unlock my phone fer sure.... :wink: Cheers, Shire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Mboden, you are da man, that's a quality little app, I already can't live without it. You asking for contributions yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MBoden Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I wont lie and say i havent looked into charging for software i cant decide what to do though, i want to make freeware , but i got to eat as well No matter what, i will still make freeware, there may be versions with more features that need registration, but if i do it that way, it will be "CheapWare". we're talking 2£/3$ i think another idea is to offer the full version free of charge in an unsigned version and charge for the signed full version , i kinda like that, even though it's selfdestructive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madu Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Shame you cannot charge for Doom - you'd be a millionare!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MBoden Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I dont think that i would like to charge for doom, it would be taking money for other peoples work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MBoden Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Well, good news , bad news and worse news the Good news : I have lots of time to make a lot of software the bad news : i'll have to charge for some of it :-( the worse news : all this because I got laid off today :-( :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akarno Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 That is a shame. :cry: I am also not working at the moment, but I am lucky because that is what I chose to do. I hope you find something soon. It should take priority over any software developement. If you can find a model for selling Doom I would certainly be willing to pay. Someone mentioned the licence allowing you to charge for distribution. You should consider offering enhanced features for you notepad at a small cost. I think many on this forum would be willing to buy if only to support your great efforts. When you can, please carry on the good work, especially Doom.

Guest Gorskar Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 ;) I'm sure if you continue to write quality software people will be more than happy to pay a few quid. Handango seem to have a good distribution model. The catch is certification. Until you can get apps certified the number of people you can sell your software to is quite limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pupton Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Call Orange and get on their development team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MBoden Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I wrote handango yesterday to inquire about certification, if they dont do that, i'm going to ask my boss to have my excess vacation converted to cash and then i'll probably buy 75 signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I dont think charging for unsigned software is fair, at the end of the day Orange will more than likely close the decertification fix to stop unsigned apps working. If they are signed they will always work therefore we know our hard earned cash isnt subject to any risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MBoden Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Amo, earlier today (before i got the boot) i wrote the i probably would end up giving away full version of unsigned software for free and may charge for full version signed software as it is now i would probably be forced to do crippled unsigned versions free and full signed versions that cost 2£ or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crimminsky Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 sorry to hear the news......if you can do a gameboy advance emulator (don't think the phone can handle it though ;) ) I'll gladly send you a tenner in the post (or equiv euros).

Guest Gorskar Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Notbad is a good application that fills a gaping hole in the included applications. With a few more options, (word wrap would be a good one.) and a digital signature I'm sure you could sell it to alot of people for a few quid a piece.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 OK what if you charge full stop? Then as you should have contact details of who has paid registration code email etc give them a free upgrade if the cetification loophole gets fixed. Like they say "Time is money" and as you suggest only charging a minimum ammount anyway I would not have a problem paying ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AsherUK Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 MBoden:. Sorry to hear that you got laid off. I walked out of my job 5 years ago and then became self employed, and although it was difficult at first it's the best thing I've ever done - Now I can spend all day messing around with my SPV, well, almost all day, I do have to do some work !. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution to the situation, and keep up the excellent work with the SPV stuff...it's much appreciated.

Guest Rob.P Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Charge away mate, I'd be happy to pay for the software you create. Especially if you carry on the way you are, you will corner the SPV software market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
