Sam ...

It is still my dream to find a solution for the iPhone community
but $10k will not do. Would you help me to find an iPhone
developer who would do it for that amount?

Thanks for response Friedhelm, but I was under the
impression you had a quote that you had confidence in and
the $10k target (I think that was goal and you reached it)
was sufficient for iPhone sync. I even offered to put in
another $500 if needed. I really do feel like us iPhone
users were misled, or I guess you feel we were just stupid
and bad losers.

Sorry Sam, you
misunderstood! As explained at the funding site only
donors with amounts over $40.00 received credit for
a free MyPhoneExplorer and a free EccoPro Installer
license.

With a total of only 150 donors you were not the
only one who gave a lot, beside other $500.00 donors
I added $2000.00 to the final bill. We exchanged
mail before in this matter and again, I sincerely
appreciate your significant donation to the project.
But after we did the survey and after Mobisynapse
asking for $40.000 bailed out, I openly explained
the situation at the funding site - when we
connected with FJSoft in Austria to replace
Mobisynapse - that for the targeted amount we would
only be able to develop a solution for the majority
of Android users who responded to the 2012 survey
with hopes for additional iPhone funding in the
future. Beside less support as we had hoped for from
some users of our Yahoo Sister Group, who for
personal reasons publicly voted the project down,
FJSoft tried also to connect to Slang for help and
got no response.

Don’t understand your $10-$40
donation. I donated $500 for initial joint
funding with the understanding that you were
dedicated to developing both iPhone and Android
capability I got nothing for my $500. Android
users donated $10 (?) and got their desired
syncing capability.

Bill,
Lindsay ...

Just recently another developer
showed interest to develop the
iPhone synchronization software.
Even with my offer to supply the
Android source code his quote was
unattainable.

iPhone support? I would like to do
it! Sadly, we do not have enough
EccoPro users supporting the
iPhone synchronization. The vast
majority of the EccoPro users
surveyed in the first half of 2012
wanted us to concentrate on an
Android solution. Considering the
smartphones world-wide in use and
a spread of 60% Android vs 40%
iPhone, we had only 150 users of
about 2,500 Forum Members willing
to support the Android solution of
MyPhoneExplorer. For example, a
$10-$40 donation goal at our
CrowdFunding site http://jointfunding.org would

hardly cover the lowest estimated
costs of $20,000 given to me by
iPhone Developers. According to
them, the Apple iPhone Store
creates very high hurdles for
developers and considering the low
interest the estimated development
costs of $20,000 are out of reach.

To learn more about Slang's
incredible Ecco Extension you
might study the "eccoext.eco"
change log part of the Extension
download, visit http://eccopro.com/ecco-extension/ or http://eccopro.com/news/

Financial support for Slang? I would favor it
and MobiSynapse (a Chinese
developer with seat in California)
offered it to Slang in 2012 for
his help in developing the Android
synchronization code. He seems
very humbled or better even
embarrassed at their offer. He
never responded. He sees his work,
his involvement a work of love to
the EccoPro community.

Thank you Slang for your continued
support!

Bill, I agree that
such overviews would be very
useful -- perhaps somewhere
in the Ecco files that are
maintained with this mailing
list. I'd also love to see
(in layman's terms) an
explanation of just how
EccoExt improves Ecco, what
extra goodies it provides
and what problems it
solves. Maybe such an
explanation already exists
-- if so, could someone
point me to it?

There are 2 Ecco mailing
lists, Bill (long story --
don't ask) and Friedhelm
looks after the other one
(copy of this email has been
sent to that list).
Friedhelm's company has
developed MyPhoneExplorer
(see http://eccopro.org/myphoneexplorer/ )
which syncs between Ecco and
Android smartphones.
Unfortunately, it doesn't
extend to iPhones, but you
may be interested to look
nevertheless.

I have been using Ecco,
more or less as it came
out of the box (Ver 4.01,
32 bit in the "about" box,
but somewhere I have the
64 bit version, purchased
from Friedhelm Dohmann).
It is appreciated,
depended upon, but largely
ignored.

While I would certainly be
willing to contribute to
further Ecco development,
it would be helpful to me
(and perhaps others)
if--from time to time--one
could hear overviews,
summaries of "where

we have been" and "where we are
going" with Ecco.

This may betray my
ignorance, but for the
future, my greatest
interests are in

- (a) having a
working and synching
Ecco on an iPhone.
(Yes, I know it's
possible to VPN back
home, but the option
requires a microscope).

- (b)
understanding the limits
of the file size.

Best,

Bill Bailey
