Replying to everyone in one go to reduce the amount of messages flying around. First off, thanks everyone for the speedy responses. :)
Bert: Congrats on the new gig, best of luck at Appcelerator! While it's a great product, it is definitely overkill for our needs and as we'll be developing the end-apps natively, we won't gain much form using it early. Cory: We're doing the work in-house, so we're looking for a tool. Tori: Great to know Axure could do this. I hadn't thought about it for this level of demo, but will investigate. I had hoped to find a cheaper tool, with less ramp up time, to enable multiple people in the org to build these out, as ultimately they will be Sales tools. We also already have several Omnigraffle licenses, so I need to decide if we want to invest in Axure going forward. Anthony: Welcome to Austin, it's always great to hear about companies moving here. :) We've thought about using Keynote for this, but have held back as we want it to work on Android devices, and ideally would like Windows users to be able to build/modify. Have you found a way to create a clickable demo on Android via Keynote? IS it the clickable PDF method? We'll check out the bundle. :) Again, thanks to everyone who has responded. The closest solution I have found so far for our specific needs is invisionapp.com, but it requires a Net connection to work, which is a showstopper.
