It’s been nearly two months since I released the first version of Clipper, my freeware application for Google’s Android smartphone operating system.
During that time, Clipper has had over two thousand (2000) downloads: check out this graph:
At the time of writing, the download tally is now at 2067 total downloads and 1212 active installations. Over a thousand people are using my application!
You can find more details about Clipper from its website. Clipper is supported on phones running Android 1.5 or above (practically any Android phone).
Developing the application has been a pleasant experience in general. I’ve received a lot of useful user feedback and encouraging comments via mediums like e-mail and Twitter!
One tiny problem I’ve had while developing is that I don’t own an Android phone1: although the emulator works well, it’s not very fast and makes it hard to design functional touch-screen interfaces – in fact, a recent update to Clipper completely changed the way the main screen functions when I realized how unintuitive the previous behavior was.
In any case, I look forward to developing more applications!

Interesting app you got there, I’ll try it out when I get my Tattoo back
