I have had it, flat out have had it!, CF read this please "simbion is dead." What part of dead do you not get, dead as in "no longer living or breathing." App developers are jumping ship faster then you can say "tits on a bull." So come on, show me what you have and put your focus on Moble accessibility. In the words of the remake of crotty kid "CF, your focus, needs more focus." In fact a refocus on what OS is beeing developed for and what OS' are dead. Hats off if you atempt win8 moble devices, at least that OS is just getting off the ground and needs accessibility support.
