Hi All,

iSnipe 2.0 has been officially launched and is available for download on the iTunes App Store. This new version brings a whole slew of new features including: iPhone OS 3.0 Compatibility, Completely Overhauled Interface, Over 1000 Ballistic Profiles, Visual Inputs, Charts, Heads Up Display and much more!

We’ve put a lot of work into this version and we hope that you’ll find all the new additions useful and easy to use. We’ve tried to address most of the requested features that iSnipe users have emailed in… There are a few more good ones that we’re still working on, so keep an eye out for iSnipe v2.1 in the near future. I’d like to thank everyone for continuing to be so supportive of iSnipe and helping to spread the word about the best ballistic calculator for the iPhone/iPod Touch. If it weren’t for all of you iSnipe would never be the App it is today! Thank you all so much.

As usual, if you enjoy iSnipe and find it useful, we ask that you help us out by telling 2 friends. Not only will you be helping your buddies shoot better but you’ll also help ensure that new and interesting features continue to make their way into iSnipe in the coming months. Thanks again and happy shooting.

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since my last correspondence… We’ve been working hard on the new versions of both iSnipe and SecureAccess, which are nearing completion by the way, but in the meantime I wanted share a retro game that most any self-respecting Mac user will remember – StuntCopter.

StuntCopter was originally release back in ‘87 by Duane Blehm, who sadly passed away not long after. This game was literally the first ‘video game’ I ever played, shortly followed by another one of Duane’s creations; Cairo Shootout. But in the end it was the annoying chopping of the rotor blades and the sense of excitement felt when I heard that “duh-da-na-la!!” level-up sound that stayed with me all these years.

As luck would have it, a new startup called nerdgames has completely re-written and released StuntCopter for the iPhone and iPod Touch! As a big fan of the game and a fellow iPhone developer, I was extremely excited to see that nerdgames had brought this timeless classic into the new millennium. I’ve been in contact with guys over at nerdgames and they have some pretty exciting ideas for the future of the game, but right now all I’m concerned about is getting past level 11! I almost forgot how easy it was to take out the horse and driver!

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about iSnipe and the current development status, so I’ve set aside this time to bring everyone up to speed.

We’ve submitted version 1.1 and are currently awaiting Apple’s approval. This version addresses the 1st Gen. iPod Touch issue, as well as a few small UI tweaks. I’ll post again once this version goes live on the App Store.

We are currently hard at work on version 1.2 and expect to have this finished and ready to submit for approval on the 21st of this month. Once development has completed on v1.2 I will let everyone know and send the respective emails to all those who have been waiting ever-so-patiently for these features. We appreciate everyone’s support so far and look forward to maintaining a quality product with ease of use in mind.

v1.2 Is Slated To Include:
• Metric Support(Biggest Request)
• Atmospheric Corrections (Temp, Alt, Hum)
• Over 500 Factory Ammo Ballistic Profiles
• Ability to group and sort saved profiles

iSnipe is the first and only ballistics calculator for the iPhone and iPod touch. Based on the excellent GNU Exterior Ballistics Library, iSnipe generates accurate 3-DOF solutions to small arms trajectories, including corrections for pitch, yaw and wind conditions.

Simply put, a ballistics computer is a calculator used to predict a bullets path/energy/wind drift/etc… For shooting enthusiasts this means the ability to pre-determine how, where and at what speeds your bullets will fly, before you even open load your gun.

Created with ease of use in mind, iSnipe is the perfect companion for any gun aficionado, competition shooter, or even law-enforcement officer… It’s just that accurate. With all the ingredients you’d expect from a portable, ballistics calculator including the ability to save and load ballistic profiles, automatic save of form values on quit and all the features you’d expect from an integrated iPhone app, there is no better way to get on target, every time. Finally there is a portable, desktop quality application that we can all take along with us with ease.

Check out the iSnipe product page for more info, screenshots and a demo video.

SecureAccess is a just-for-fun app that everyone can enjoy. Impress your friends with your iPhone/iPod touch’s amazing faux fingerprinting capabilities or just sit back and enjoy the crisp, realistic visuals yourself. No clumsy tilting or confusing shakes to make this app work… Just touch and go. Don’t be fooled by other more expensive apps that do little extra. We have several fun features to implement in the next few versions and plenty of good ideas to come. Buy SecureAccess today for a minimal charge and receive free updates for the life of the app.

Features to come:
• Customizable Text Display.
