I'm the programmer behind both those apps and I appreciate the mention. I just want to let readers know that better things are on their way including some much needed updates and a new addition or two. Anyhow, thanks and keep up the good work! ~clark Hi Spencer,

I (and Phandroid as a whole) will make sure to keep these things in mind. Also, regarding DoggCatcher. I personally use (and subsequently love) DoggCatcher came out a while ago, I can't really put if up for WAR because it wasn't release this week. However, if a large update is released, maybe we could do that. That's why I'm staring this whole Twitter thing...we can all discuss it and have a more cheery time ;) Thanks for the feedback, people!

Regarding Skype beta, it's useful if you have people on skype abroad or use skypeout as you can call them using only your local cell minutes or using the minutes plus the reduced skypeout fees. If you're away from your computer it's pretty nice to be able to place those international skype calls at local rate. It is obviously not skype voip and I guess that's where people's expectations were placed but I don't think they could make it due to CPU constraints. I would call it something like "SkypeOut mobile companion" and not "skype lite" which is confusing some users and frustrating them, hence the very low reviews and the very high ones you can see on the Market. Anyway, even this beta still needs improvement as it eats up your CPU big time! And yes, do review more advanced apps, and review them in depth (what are they useful for, how big is their disk/cpu footprint, developer updates, trust-worthiness, ...) I 2nd DoggCatcher.

It's an outstanding podcatcher/player that has been getting better all the time because of an extremely responsive development team. A suggestion for next week – DoggCatcher.

Needless to say I did "read up" on my apps, and recognized that mono would be an important app for the future, but not necessarily one that the majority of users would care about. Would you like some sort of advanced userd/developer posts? Thanks for the reply, cashless.

Read up on your read ups. I can’t believe you left out the most import app to appear in the market in a very long time, Mono. Read up on your read ups.
