Solitaires for BlackBerry updated to v. 2.0.2

2009-06-11T07:38:00.000-07:00

Today we have updated our BlackBerry Solitaires. This minor update is very important for all BlackBerry Storm users, because it contains bugfix of improper behaviour of Solitaire Selection form.

Whereas this update applies only to collection and sub-collections, version number for single solitaires has been also increased to 2.0.2.

GrxView Lite v. 1.0.6: more features for freeware users!

2009-05-26T00:21:00.000-07:00

After long-waited update of GrxView family, we've decided to delight fans of our freeware GrxView Lite too. So, meet the GrxView Lite v. 1.0.6!

Same as in GrxView, the key feature of current update is an ability to display bigger images in full scale without loosing details.

For users of Sony Clie or Zire 71 devices, GrxView Lite now will recognize photos in internal memory taken by built-in camera.

Next thing will be useful for Treo users: you can now change image scale with your keyboard (try 'w' and 's' buttons).

Well, that's it! You can now update your copy of GrxView Lite or visit its page to get more details or even make a donation :)

GrxView family has been updated to version 3.2.6

2009-05-24T04:11:00.000-07:00

Almost after two years of last update, we have added some useful features, fixed some bugs and, as usually, added some new ones, of course! :)) This update is applied to GrxView, GrxView Pro and TiffView.

The main feature of this update is an ability to show bigger images without downscaling (of course, if you have enough memory on your device). This made possible by more effective memory usage for image decoding. So, for now you may open images sized 3000x2000 in full scale.

Next significant thing is applied go GrxView Pro only. Why didn't you guys ever tell us that opening certain types of DjVu images on some devices like Treo leads to reset??? It was pure fluke that we have discovered such GrxView Pro behaviour BEFORE this release. And, as you might guess, we have fixed this bug.

We have also added an ability to change speed of slide show transition effects. Some users have complained that speed of these effects is a way too fast.

GrxView and GrxView Pro are now recognize new files in internal memory: photos made by built-in Clie Camera and Zire Camera. I don't know if this is a very useful feature, but I hope some users will be happy :)

There are also some minor fixes, but they are not so significant to write about them in details.

As usually, all registered users can update their copies of GrxView, GrxView Pro and TiffView for free.

PayPal as payment method; eSellerate store new look; and the winter coming to end

2009-02-23T11:22:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone :)

Only good news today.

First, for three days ago we added PayPal as payment method to our store. And some of you have already used this option, so it should be working. But if you have any questions or complains about it, don’t hesitate to ask.

Second, our eSellerate store have got new look. (Our eSellerate store is the one you jumped to after clicking ‘Buy’ from a product page on our site). Maybe it’s not brilliant, but without it there would be no PayPal either, so...

And the third news is about winter coming to end. So does our New Site Opening Discount. And we decided to synchronize these endings. In other words you can buy any product from our site with 50% discount until February 28th inclusive.

As always, feel free to leave your comments here.

2009-02-02T06:35:00.001-08:00

Here's the plan of what we, inDev Software, are going to do in 2009.

Certainly it may be corrected after some time, we may concentrate on other priorities, but as of today our major plans for this year are:

Develop and release a solitaire game for iPhone.
Launch our site for mobile devices.
Develop and release inExpense for Windows Mobile.
Release updates of inCubus and Sortout.
Continue to support all our products and release minor updates and bug fixes.

Repeat again, these plans can be changed. So be welcome to leave your comments here in case you think we've missed something.

2009-01-28T08:17:00.000-08:00

We will try to fix this issue ASAP.

Meanwhile you can install the games in device memory, it works fine.

Update 1/30/2009: The issue is resolved. New versions can be downloaded from our site.

Okay, these holidays (and past-holidays) have ended up at last and it's time to get back to work. We will start this year with some improvements and surprises for our customers. Are you still interested?

Who we are?

2009-01-15T03:54:00.000-08:00

inDev Software was established in January, 2003 in Kiev, Ukraine by a team of talented PDA software developers. We have decided to start developing applications for Palm OS because it was one of the most perspective directions in our point of view. So, our first projects for Palm OS were TiBR (eBook reader), GrxView (graphics viewer with Jpeg support only) and five well-known solitaires - Spider, Freecell, Klondike, Forty Thieves and Yukon. Also there was Tetris-on-the-Palm, but this project was discontinued due to copyright violations.

For now we provide various solitaire games (including 800 solitaires pack), image viewers (including map viewer with basic GPS functions), personal finance applications, book readers, board games (just try our innovative game - inCubus) and other applications for Palm OS handhelds.

Since 2006 we provide software not only for Palm OS, but also for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry. In future we are going to export some our Palm OS products to these platforms, write new useful applications and who knows, maybe even conquest new platforms like iPhone or Android.

Additionally to our own products development we offer custom software development services for mobile devices (Palm OS, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry) and Windows desktop. If you are interested, please send your request to mailbox@indevsoftware.com.
