We’ve reached 2% of our funding goal after almost a day. Pretty exciting to watch the stats ticking over and realize that there are others out there who think the idea is a good one!

We’ve just launched Wobble onto Appbackr.
What is Appbackr I hear you ask??
Well it is kind of like Kickstarter - but we’re selling wholesale copies of our apps – future sales that is… you get them at wholesale price and make 27% profit as they sell over the next month or so – we get the funds now.
It’s really an experiment to see how it goes with Wobble, we thought we could use it for some of our other apps like Concierge and Hey! and pinFM that are coming out soon…
UPDATE - we’ve already raised over $5000 in just a few hours!
Well Wobble has been out for a couple of years now, we’ve seen it hit the very top of the charts, and slip down to the top 200 in the past year.
At one time Wobble was installed on 5% of all iPhones in existence, that has slipped to 1%, so that means that we need to tell the 10 million people that this market share represents to go and download Wobble – give me a hand and tell your friends! 
To make sure we get 5 Star ratings we’re doing a bunch of work adding more free updates!
So this is my todo list for Wobble – 10 things in 10 weeks – let’s see if we can do it!
1. add the ability to stretch the circle to be any shape – it needs a small handle in the middle to move the target around, then allow the user to pull the edges to stretch the shape
2. Full screen display – have toolbars retract when something moving on screen – tap a small corner to bring toolbars back and stop wobbling
3. Fix bug with premium menu – camera roll menu on iPhone 4 menu item “photo album” overlaying camera roll.
4. Password protection – with pin number – Add a pin number modal dialogue before opening wobbles – if pin is enabled it should always go to the menu screen and ask for a pin before loading any wobbles – modal dialogue box to enter pin
5. Add share by email and sms
6. Add the ability to share animated gifs – with a record button on the shake to view page
7. Add wallpaper ability for android
8. Need on off state for 3d
9. Need a hugeness slider for 3D – like amplitude
10. Update the graphics for all versions – have retina display capable for all versions
what a neat idea

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Wobble iBoobs has been cruising along very nicely for over two years now, with well over a million installs and income of more than $500,000 in that time.
We’ve been working on some other projects but have now decided to bring Wobble up to date, with a big list of improvements.
Last year we launched 3D and the HD versions which saw a large number of downloads and updates, for our next trick we’re adding all the features which users have ever suggested plus some innovative new ideas and control functions that are pretty entertaining.
It’s also time for a revamp, we’ve engaged IconFactory to give Wobble a bit of a tart up, and I think you’ll like what we have in store!
So stay tuned
Returned home to find my shiny new iPad 2 waiting for me. So far a few things to note:
1. quite a bit faster than iPad, rendering of pages is instant and scrolling doesn’t seem to cause breaks in rendering.
2. glass is somehow more slippery, feels better
3. same weight, but a bit thinner
4. home button doesn’t click as loudly which is good
