It's getting awesomer too. Some great things in the pipeline.

It's now almost available in Welsh as well (a few tweaks remaining)... not that that helps an Australian very much :-)

Yeah I didn’t try it on the iPad which of course runs Safari.

Despite my whinging, I think Xerte is pretty damn awesome. I love how it runs without issue on an iPad 1.
