HP Pivot: Sept. 2011 featured app: Death By Caffeine
So as some of you may know, Death By Caffeine HD is a featured app in the September 2011 edition of HP Pivot, a digital app catalog magazine for the HP Touchpad. As a developer, this is one of the coolest experiences I think I have ever had. What makes this even better, is that this is the second time I’ve had an app spotlighted by H/Palm; the first being Death By Caffeine for webOS phones. Given HP’s plan to discontinue webOS hardware operations, I wasn’t sure if this was going to make it into the magazine at all (so you can imagine my excitement seeing it spotlighted.)
In regards to the app, there is an update for the tablet version coming. Currently, the “Kilograms” option is not working as it should (local cookie issue.) Until the new version has been reviewed and released by Palm’s QA team, choosing the “Pounds” option should allow you to proceed as a work-around for the time being. Given the typical review period, this update should be posting to the official catalog within the next few business days. I apologize to all my metric-scale-utilizing users for not catching this much sooner.
As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. I would definitely like to thank Palm and the HP Pivot team for shining light on small-time developers like myself. I also want to extend a special thanks to Michael Marsicano, the artist behind the illustration. It’s things like this that make developing for webOS such a welcoming experience.
Thanks.
