I like my TF guide printouts when I travel (Stuart can vouch for that, having seen my neatly shrunk and bound copy of the Vietnam guide) - SO I wasn't sure, initially, what I thought of the idea of an electronic version, on a small screen no less. However, within the first 60 seconds, I knew this would be a very cool and useful app. Very easy to navigate and to read. I'm thinkoing of those times where you get off a bus after a long journey and you are looking for accommodation. It is incredibly easy to browse through the options, and pull it up on a map. Love it! I'm now thinking that I need to invest in an iPhone and plan another trip. (OK - to be honest, I'm not actually a beer drinker, so Stuart's attempts to cloud MY judgement and opinion were unsuccessful! Stone sober - and I still think it's a great app!) Congrats Stuart!

An amazing idea and you're actually proactive about getting it done. It's hard to find expats in Asia that: 1. Have novel ideas. 2. Are motivated to work them out. 3. Run with them, staying on track. 4. Launch! Congrats! I don't have the iPod touch yet, but am considering it. I think this product will be very successful for your company. Looking forward to seeing it on video once it goes live. Cheers! Vern Very nice Stuart! An amazing idea and you’re actually proactive about getting it done. It’s hard to find expats in Asia that:

I think your reasoning on this is spot on. One tangential comment: GetSatisfaction is a real dog -- too many clicks, too many hurdles to provide feedback. Kills off all but the most dedicated brand loyalists who want to give feedback. -r Congrats — looking forward to seeing it. I think your reasoning on this is spot on.
