    Single edition licence for iPhone, Android, Blackberry.....

      As a smaller developer in it would be very useful to offer single edition licenses for a wide range of other devices. Moving up to the Pro Edition is quite a jump when you are first starting out and you can't prove a financial justification for the yearly payment of 4k plus.

       

      There must be others like us who are starting to develop apps and need an initial soft financial start before taking a bolder step.

          I definitely agree. More than anything, I wish I understood the discrepancy. Can anybody explain why it is relatively free to produce Apple apps (provided you're a CC member) but it costs $500/month to produce Android apps? The software to build them is the exact same, and the Apple apps actually have more functionality (in regards to the Folio Overlays that are not supported in droids, etc). I've been using DPS to great success to build some apps for my company, and they want to know why I can only build them for the iPad and not any other tablet.

           

          Frankly, I'd like to know the same thing! Is there anyone out there who knows why there's such a monetary gap between these two seemingly identical tools? Or, better question, does anybody have a solution to converting an iapp into a tablet format that is less expensive?

           

          Thanks -

            I absolutely agree too. In my country the iOS market for tablets represents only 23% while Android, Kindle Fire, Window 8... the rest. I can't find any client who only wants to sell or distribute its app only in IOS market. It's a pitty because I really prefer Adobe than others platforms.I'm just waiting for a change of the company
