Basically, what i was planning to release as a for-fee program -- see
discussion on Swhack mailing list[1] for some discussion of that -- but
eventually decided I'd just work on releasing for free.

Kinda pointless now, I guess.

Congrats to Nick on the release of what I think will be a useful app.
I'll probably take a look at the code and see if there's anything I can
do to help you out with the code, and you can feel free to join the
Symbian-Hacks mailing list I've sent this message to and CC'd you on.

Unfortunately, the experience of releasing this has made me rather
despondant on further development on the mobile platform: anything I do
seems to be ignored, or redone, and better, by someone else. The effort
I put forth for releases is too much to just have wasted - GPSDisplay[2]
was only downloaded by a total of 3 people, and the less than
overwhelming subscriptions to this mailing list is pretty indicitive of
what I feel is the general interest level in the stuff I've been
writing.

Damn not having 40 hours a week to hack on things anymore.
