WebOS for Palm Pre & future others

any future plans to make these apps available on WebOS? I get the tweets all the time & get disappointed when I see them.

I'd love to, but I don't know

I'd love to, but I don't know how long it will be. I have to take this slow since 1) I don't have globs of money and 2) all the platforms are very different monsters. We are working on a Blackberry application now. But thanks for the vote! I'll jot this down for the future.

That would be awesome.

Why not make it available for the nano since it has a screen?

I'm pretty sure the only Apple iPods that can run apps are the iPhone and iTouch. But--eventually--we will branch out into other smart phones :)

Setup

I think you should learn a few Japanese words with pictures and an English translation (under the Picture and Japanese) instead of learning a phrase then translating into English. Then take the words that you learned and use them in some sentences. An example to use is the Genki Student Book. I haven't used this program and I'm only basing this off the demo. Overall, it’s a nice program and I'd like to help improve the program to benefit everyone using it. Give me a pm because I have many more great ideas.

A good idea is to combine the ideas from Genki and Rosetta Stone together; since both lack what the other has. If you guys were to choose to market your own materials it should have software, audio CDs, and books that work in complete unison. Lacking any one of these materials and it wouldn’t have any gain on the competition; since that’s what they all currently lack. This would make a fantastic program to learn from. I would do it myself, but I don’t know Japanese well enough [yet] and I lack some resources. Overall, the website’s [etc…] off to a great start with what you offer thus far.

Neat idea. We will add some pictures to the next app, but it isn't as unified as you are suggesting (yet). Please email me (see contact link at top left) if you have any more ideas. I'd love to hear them.

Installation on ipod touch v2.2 2nd generation

Hi, my name is Silvio and I've downloaded the free version yet but it doesn't work in my ipod touch 2nd generation, software version 2.2. Didn't it work in the ipod touch? Or do I need some update from apple store (there is a new version available, v2.2.1)? Meanwhile I'm using other similar applications I found in apple store but this from japanesepage seems to be better, expect I can use it in ipod touch.

Hi!--Sorry I didn't check

Hi!--Sorry I didn't check here earlier.

I'm not sure. Phreadom (a member here) has an iTouch and it works for him. If you have the latest software, I'm not sure why it doesn't work. Does it give an error message?

I think it's really useful!

I have the paid version of this app, and I think it's very useful for beginners. There really isn't much that needs to be improved on. It pretty much has it all! Thank you for making such a wonderful app!

Wow! Thanks :) Phreadom

Wow! Thanks :)

Phreadom did some of the graphic design and Rich helped a lot with proofreading. I'm just glad it is up. It seemed like it would never be approved :)

You're Welcome!

However, I thought of something while using the flashcards. Would it be possible to have the option to set it so you can only hear the audio without the words? After a while, I can easily recognize the romaji and kana, but I think it would be even more helpful to learn to listen to the audio without the aid of the kana.

Thanks! So you mean, you

Thanks! So you mean, you hear the audio auto play with a blank flashcard, then you tap the card to see the Japanese, romaji, and English?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any plans in the future to release an app like this for the T-mobile G1?

Not right now, but is that a Palm or Windows based OS? I think the developer I am working with only has experience with Apple products. :(

Thanks! It is most

Thanks! It is most definitely on the to-do list. But unfortunately, I'm not made out of money :) It will have to be after a few more iPhone apps are released (I can reuse much of the original code which makes a second and third iPhone app relatively cheap). I am planning on working on a Windows CE version late this year, though.

G1

Hi,

The G1 is an Android based OS. A new OS from Google, which supposedly is very open-source and has a lot of companies backing it. Currently it's a little iffy right now but with time it should be a very competent OS.

Thanks,

Zepher

Great aplications:
