Does your agreement with Apple via their App Store for your iPhone game prevent it from being offered in other locations, or for sale on your own site, if you chose to create your own site to sell it from?  Just curious.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Where exactly is the client software to download, I can't find it anywhere on the site?

Is Project Metropolis just a web page with Paypal/download links? I was under the impression you had programmed some app-store/package management type software for all four Amiga OSs to log into your online store and make online purchases and downloads. I notice on the page that the Instant Download Software requires an Amiga OS, but I'm not sure where to download that software.

Hi Cammy, I was under that impression too, but it appears just to be a web page with links to paypal to pay for the software.

I wonder if that site works properly with IBrowse...have to go home and try it.

It works well enough in IBrowse. Obviously the Flash animation at the top of the page doesn't, but the page is laid out properly and the images and colours look fine.

With all due respect, I figured it'd be an application (ala itunes, android and windows marketplaces) as well.  Is this just a webstore, or am I missing something?  I've been shopping on Amiga webstores for years, bricks and mortar and some instant software download ones such as Cloanto's.

I applaud the idea, don't get me wrong - just wondering if I missed something here, or if more was being planned.

We thought about having client software made but decided why make the process more complex then needed. Instead you get a link on how to download the software in your e-mail once you purchase it. Crisp and Clean, No Caffeine.

Compared to getting dressed, driving to store, standing in line, etc. it sounds good to me.

How will Hollywood executables be handled?
Will we be able to upload/download mp3 music or video?
I need to recheck the FAQ.

Maybe we were wrong to not have a client app for the launch of Project Metropolis. If that proves to be the case as time goes on then we will make one. It would have to be for six operating systems.

DiscreetFX should know by now that this group is very hard to please and setting up this kind of online app store, without doing the required research and work to make it smoother and better than Apple's App Store, would generate a lot of criticism, and/or complaints.

The idea is generally one that is appreciated by most, but the implementation appears to need some work to satisfy this crowd.

Funny how almost every new Amiga related endeavor gets met with either wild fanatic support, or harsh criticism, or both, but not much feedback that is between these two opposite poles.
