You know I start lots of little projects, some end up as products, others get consigned to the bin. What I have learnt over many many years in business is that now I don’t waste much time on things unless their is a definite market of willing buyers for any prospective project. So as much as an exercise for me to learn iPhone development (and perhaps join the app store goldrush which seems to be taking place!)
I have the bare bones of, for want of a better term, a sage line 50 ‘viewer’ for the iphone. For those technically inclined I have a small php web server which reads data from line 50, packages it as XML which then gets consumed by an application on the iphone. Cool? certainly, commercially viable? unknown at the moment, if you have a few seconds spare I would be grateful if you could complete the poll on the right.
Cost wise I would probably give away the iphone application and charge a nominal fee for the server portion of the solution. In real terms it would enable you or your staff to remotely view Line 50 data (Sales, Purchase, Nominal, Stock and transactions) anywhere they could get wi-fi or a 3g signal.
