...not a peep about the iPad version. I'll probably polish up what I have and release it as a separate app in the app store. I've heard nothing other than what my friend has told me in basic usage on his iPad. If anyone would like to beta this version let me know.
The changes to the regular version are underway and I'm trying to decide if I should make the original a universal app or not. If anyone has an opinion on this, again, let me know.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Teaser
No official timeline, or even if I plan on releasing it officially, but a few weeks ago I sat down and got serious about an iPad port because a friend was bugging me about porting Geopher Lite to the iPad. I still do not have a 3G iPad, but I was able to get some stuff working. Rotation has been a headache and does not work yet as expected, but otherwise maps, coordinate entry and target screens appear to work fairly well other than that. (The map screen doesn't show the target or current coordinates correctly either and is missing an icon for the current location in the top left, but those are minor details)
On an unrelated note, I've been able to finally see a problem I keep hearing about in reviews but have yet to reliably reproduce, which is the compass screen not working properly. I am toying with the idea of a major facelift for the app as it's not obvious to me what might cause this. Well, that and among other things the code could really use a face-lift now that I'm a better iOS programmer. I have a few ideas, but if you have a wishlist for Geopher Lite (or iPhone/iPad geocaching in general), the next few weeks would be a good time to shoot me an email.
As always thanks for using Geopher Lite!
