The TamsPalm developer health survey goes on and on – now its Radoslaw Nowak’s turn. Radoslaw talks about PalmGear, the sub-prime crisis and a variety of other interesting topics:
Please tell us more about yourself and your company!
Nothing’s changed since Q3 
Did the resuscitation of PalmGear affect your sales?
Rather it did, but just a little bit. Although we’re doing better on PalmGear than we did on PocketGear, it’s still 50% of sales we had on the original PalmGear…
Do you feel the effects of the American sub-prime crisis?
Mostly by the decreasing value of the American dollar. I’m getting less and less Euro in exchange for it 
In General, are you (still) happy with the sales rates of your Palm OS products?
Considering the fact that Palm hasn’t released a new device for sooo long, I must say that the sales rates aren’t too bad. However, I’m already looking for new targets where my software could count on more fresh audience…
Did the fast-selling Centro affect your sales?
Yes, I think that Centro, although already old, it still keeps the software market alive. But I’m afraid this could end up with the coming Christmas…
How long do you expect to stay in the Palm OS market?
As long as possible 
Why not?
Do you plan any new Palm OS products?
Yes. Actually I released a new title today, TopNewRingtones, see: http://www.ranosoft.net/top-new-ringtones/
And I’m still have A LOT OF plans, most of which will never be realized, however
Do you see any future for Nova?
Now they’d have to spend millions on advertising to re-gain lots of lost Palm OS users…
What is your future platform of choice?
The one that has many users who can make use of my software. I haven’t evaluated other platforms yet, though I’m planning to do so still in this year.
Anything you’d like to add?
Sales on PalmGear+PocketGear are now higher than they were on PocketGear only (and it seems this will stay like this), but they are 50% of the sales that we’ve had just before the original PalmGear was closed. Note that on other websites our sales go steadily.
