[ANN] [OT] First iPad app approved

[Joe F.]

Congratulations Tom.
Not just a frivolous piece of software fluff either; an excellent  
example of tech that gives something to the world.

"Big Button Email" is a good idea too. That was my take on the iPad- a  
Mac for Granny.

If I may suggest another product that fill your niche: a voice package  
for Rev.
I was dismayed to find that the speech command yields passable results  
on Macs but sounds absolutely awful on Windows.

Cheers,
Joe F.
