So what happened to change your mind on this? For a long time I had already "virtually budgeted" $15 or whatever for your next product, based on Sunrise.

It's a shame because I was looking forward to a new reader for the PPC. There are only a few readers available for the platform today, and none of them are perfect. And none of them provide all the features I had using Vade Mecum with Sunrise. Most are exclusively RSS readers, and of the ones that can cache online content for offline reading, that merely consists of pulling the files down as-is without any conversion or compression. No, I don't consider Avantgo to be a competitor, their "conversion" is mediocre at best, and the client is nothing but a web brower with a few extra menu items. And nothing even tries to match the scripting features in Sunrise.

Maybe we could convince you to reconsider?
