Last Tuesday we released the latest version of our iPad POS app, and this was a huge release for us, as we know combined our full-featured wrapper app with our beautiful but limited-in-features native app. Along with this release we launched the app store preview video I made! This was a labour of love of mine, which I worked on during slower periods of UI design work.

I recently began listening to the wonderful Limitless Possibility iOS Podcast, and I encourage all to check it out! It was created by my friend and co-worker, Luc-Olivier, and his friend Yanick. Luco is one of the brightest young developers I've met, and though I've never met Yanick, anyone who has been making a decent living through the sales of an indy app since the age of 17 deserves to be listened to. Their podcast can be found at here: http://limitlesspossibility.net/...
