Do I get free lifetime upgrades to other platforms (e.g. iPhone)?
No. Each platform (Palm OS, Windows, Apple iOS) is sold separately, so our free lifetime upgrades do not apply across platforms. The simple reason for this is that all the platforms for which we’ve developed dictionaries so far (Palm OS, Windows, Apple iOS) are completely and utterly incompatible at the developer level, and so each app has required a complete rewrite of all our app UI code from scratch with no re-use of old code. This means the development process for each is extremely costly and time-consuming for us at Word in the Hand. So it is necessary for us to charge across platforms in order for us to have any hope of recovering our development costs. Otherwise, we would simply not be able to stay in business and offer you any dictionary at all!
