Jeyo locked forums in "format change"

Hi
If any of you are using products made by Jeyo such as Jeyo Mobile Companion you may have used their forum to discuss with other Jeyo users the problems and observations you find using their products. It is the best way to communicate with the developers and other users at the same time and would provide useful feedback for improvements to their products.
However after notable negative discussions in the forum about bugs not being acknowledged by the developers and an empty promise made by the developers of a new version within "40 days" of a January post date, the only recent post is this announcement:
Based on your feedback, we're adopting a new format for our support forums. The #1 suggestion we've received is to keep the forums easier to read by reducing the number of postings that aren't particularly relevant to most users. We've evaluated several possible options and decided to close these forums for external posting and instead use them as a way for us to record common support questions and answers -- just think of them as a set of real-time up-to-date FAQs.
You can always reach us with a question at [email protected]. Should you have a topic that you want to see posted, simply email us about that.
Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be converting the existing forums to this new format. Thank you for your patience during the transition!

Jeyo have effectively removed the whole point of a forum and made it just one huge announcement page. There are so many easier ways to separate official announcements and FAQs from discussions; closing the forum to everyone but themselves seems an unneccessary method with other intentions. One comes to mind is to stop people making public criticisms of their products regardless of whether they would be constructive and beneficial or not.
At least I am grateful that xda-developers is still here! I dont think many of us would be too happy if the moderators of this forum suddenly closed posting to everyone but themselves claiming it was for "user simplicity"!

Poll for Mobile Developers (for class study)

For a 4th year entrepreneurship class study...
If you were a smalltime mobile app developer, would you be interested in a service that allowed you to port your application to another platform (one or more of apple/android/blackberry/WM/PalmOS) without you requiring more resources, tools and knowledge, to generate more revenue?
If yes please select the option that states which pricing plan you prefer.
(poll is also located at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5JSKLDN)

*bump*
thanks guys. its only till tomorrow, when we have to present our findings.
please see the poll above.
i realized that itd help us more if developers had any comments or feedback as well.
cheers.

*bump one last time*

[PROJ] XDA-Marketplace! (New Devs, same basic idea)[Looking for Support]

Cyclonezephyrxz7 is starting up a new XDA Marketplace for Android and Windows Mobile devices. Please check out the original thread for more information.
The address for the new marketplace will be http://www.xda-mp.com
The link to the original thread is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836964

UPDATE
Hello Everyone over on the ANDROID Forums,
Although I am not the OP of this thread, I am the main developer behind the new XDA-MarketPlace. I am here with a major update.
I haven't been posting much on this thread because I have been mainly working in the Windows Mobile one. Let me fill you in.
The website is quickly nearly completion. I was unable to hit my original goal of the New Year, but I have been doing my best to complete as fast as possible, while maintaining good code.
Many pages of the site are in fact done already. The pages that have yet to be finished are the User and Profile pages. The submission page is being RE-DONE.
Now, I haven't mentioned much of this over here ... but what I do need for YOU is to contact the developers of your programs and tell them to shoot me a PM with their E-Mails, or just telling me that they are interested in being alerted when the site is about to go up. This way, we can start the site with some applications!
Now, I have been feeling really crumby about not having the website out yet. I want you to know I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON THIS AT ALL. It has been taking me a lot of time. BUT I feel like I don't have any push because I have had at most 2 or 3 developers contact me. This website cannot exist with only 3 developers. I do need the member base to start this, so it can start off with a boom.
I ask for all of your support to make a cross-platform marketplace work for the community! I need it now more than ever
If you have comments, PLEASE POST THEM IN THE WINDOWS MOBILE THREAD [see the first post on this thread for a link] SO EVERYTHING CAN BE CENTRALIZED.
Thank You

Greetings from Jumio

Hello All,
I just joined XDA and will do my best not to be a noob. I'm with Jumio, the Andreessen-Horowitz funded start-up that is melding computer vision technology and mobile payments. My goal is to stay abreast of the issues and topic that you find important and to share with you info about how Jumio can figure into your app development plans.
On the what's new front, we've just launched our Android Credit Card Scanning SDK. Travelocity just implemented the "other" version into their hotel deals app and you can read about it on Techcrunch from Oct. 4. This SDK is now ready and available to you on jumio.com (for free) and on top we're offering 500 free scans to eliminate all barriers to give it a try. If you need more free scans or other info please drop me a line.
BTW, adept developers implement this card scanning functionality in under half an hour. Please let me know if you can beat that time.
If this info is more suited to a different section of the forum would appreciate if someone could direct me accordingly.
Cheers,
Marc

STAPPZ- What's live near you - location based app - early cm adopters needed

Hi,
I'm Tim and we developed an Android app and started a startup in Germany. However, the app is free. Therefore, I hope that posting about the app in this forum to search cyanogenmod users is ok. If not, please delete this post.
I post here, because I, myself, love cynongenmod custom roms and would like to find out more about the compatibility of our app. Therefore, I search people that like to try new apps that report if it works from them. The app is location based and in beta (so not perfect yet) and for my cm10.1 on an Lg P990 and cm on a Galaxy S3 it works. I'd be curious about other phones. Therefore, I thought this forum here is the best place to find like minded people that use cm - Maybe even someone has the onplus one and can test it
We have the app for beta testers open and you can get it on our page STAPPZ com or find us on facebook (STAPPZ)
OK- now i talked so much about what we would like to test - here a brief description:
What is STAPPZ? In short, it is answer to the question: “What is live near me?”
With STAPPZ you participate in an open conversation with pictures and text at your current position. You create and perpetuate your own STAPPZ: Moments, noteworthy facts or any other information that you consider relevant.Nearby fellows (other STAPPZ users) see those STAPPZ and respond to them by posting something themselves or by saving them in their profile.This way, the people joining STAPPZ enrich and weave the world, collaborate and take advantage of the knowledge that others left around them.
However, if you like the app and have some feedback in other directions or you want more info or to blog about it, please let us know.
We'd be so glad to get feedback if it runs on your cm devices.
Kind regards
Tim
