The app will retail for $6.99 (or its equivalent). I will likely have a couple of promo codes to give away. Keep your eyes peeled through out next week. Also, the first review is in! I have no idea what it says, but it's exciting nonetheless... http://www.frostyplace.com/index.php?story_id=9931
I'm glad you like it! The trailer was a three-day effort, so it wasn't too bad. I don't actually own a video camera, but I did purchase the new iPod Touch a couple of weeks ago to test the app on retina display and that little device comes with an HD camera built in. So I used it for the shoot. My biggest challenge was strapping the iPod to a tripod and suspending it at just the right angle above the table. However, a few rubber bands and some pieces of velcro later, I was rolling.
Wow, I'm impressed ! The video looks great ! I just bought a new iPod Touch for my wife so she could have an easily portable video camera; I'm glad to see the results can be really nice! Good luck on the launch. Is it on track to release tonight ? I'm really looking forward to this book; it looks terriffic !
