No can do, at least for the use that prompts the original question. The app is only available on the Apple platforms and queries of the company about porting it to WINTEL have only met with the stock thank-you-for-asking response.
I've not bought anything Apple outside of a couple of iPods. And, it's beginning to look like it's not going to happen this time around either. Oh well.
But for those responding to the usage question, please do continue. I have been known to change my mind.
On a some what related note, my brother has been struggling with learning Cocoa and dealing with the rather piss poor development platorm, the poorly or undocumented features and the ever shifting sands of iOS. He's not a professional developer but he's no dummy either -- he holds his own when it comes to WINTEL stuff but all of the other Apple related crap, he is really challenged. I get a feeling for some of the challenges when we talk and exchange emails about how primative things are compared to Windows and development tools we both use.
And then, I read reviews of different apps on both the iStore and independent BLOGs. It makes me stop every single time.
I've picked up bits and pieces about the development process and the strangle hold Apple has on development, approval and distribution of apps. I can't help but wonder if Apple wouldn't have a larger share of the market if they did things a little differently.
