Please give David and I your opinion.
We are discussing the module installer for SwordReader.
Should it be windows based only?
Leaves the MAC and Linux users out in the cold.
Don't PocketPCs still "require" Windows for ActiveSync purposes? Are
there any precedents for content installers for Mac/Linux?
I have a feeling the percentage of Windows Mobile users who don't use
Windows PCs is extremely low--much lower than the percentages of Palm,
iPhone, or Android users using non-Windows OSes on the desktop. So I
suspect that if an installer for Mac or Linux requires any additional
effort, it's probably not the best use of time resources.
Or PDA based only?
Makes it harder for some people to install since they may not know they
have Internet access while synced with the PC.
An installer on the system is nice. From playing with the iPhone front
end, I can say I would much prefer doing installs directly on the device
to doing them on a PC and syncing.
I think people are going to need instructions, regardless of how the
installer works, so I wouldn't worry about their not yet knowing about
the network connection during sync.
