Hey Gerry,
I am Jameson Brandon, CEO of Nettysoft inc. We have over 10 years experiene building web based & adobe air app software. We have been featured all over the web from ABC to FOX news.
I know Dave Guindon who made AMA suite personally, great guy.
I am very familiar with the apps and what features they have. I agree that a tabbed app would be smarter and you could beef up some features here and there to help make it unique if you like.
Anyway your budget is a bit thin considering what is actually involved in doing an AA app these days.
If you want to come up a bit in budget, we can get this started in the next 24hrs.
A few questions...
Will you want licensing for the AA app? So you can sell off copy/license level
Will you want to have this app registered with security sites so it does not say "unknown" on adobe download popup.
Thanks & talk soon
Jameson
