Default Oshkosh Photos (now: WingX for the Smartphone)

I would like the Beta version. I even got an email from you saying to
go ahead and try the Beta. I downloaded something that said it was for
Windows Mobile, it doesn't work on the Smartphone. It installed but it
doesn't do anything when you launch it. I have the link to directly
from the Smartphone to your site but all it says is the Smartphone
version will be downloadable here. As for features I like what you're
doing. I'm not hoping for much with the radar picture as I have a
program and a couple of websites for that already for the Q. It frankly
just isn't all that good. I really want the W+B and flight planning
like on my Axim X51. Personally I don't need or want the FAR's. Just
wastes space. Don't care if you include the airport freq's, etc. I
have that already on my 296 as well as my Flight Guide, both of which
are easier to access than a PDA. Maybe a link to the Beta version?
That would be great. Thanks.

It is (still) in Beta. Animated Weather, DUATS support, W&B, A/FD, route
planning all working (and lots more). Expiration page needs work. If you
have the Smartphone version, make sure that you upgrade to 2.0.0.5 Beta.

I'm working 24/7 on WingX. In fact, a user was having some problems on his
Q that we could not reproduce. I met up with him at Oshkosh on the
flight-line. Spoke with him about the problem; we weren't able to reproduce
it because it seems to be very 'location-specific' (cell phone tower and
reception specific). I drove back to the hotel and worked on a fix to
handle poor reception areas for several hours 9connected remotely to my
machine in San Jose, CA), then posted the fix on our web site so that he
could automatically upgrade his WingX while at Oshkosh and test it the next
day. So, I promise, we're working really hard at getting it out. It will
be released (non-Beta) in August.

If anyone is interested, send me an email and I'll get the install
instructions out to you.

NEWPS: Please call or email and let's talk about what you'd like to see in
WingX and/or what you'd like improved.

Thanks,

Hilton

OK, you're back. Let's get the Moto Q software up and running.
