Jolly Logic began selling AltimeterThree for iOS (Android coming soon) this week on our website.
We're limiting the release to our site to start with so that we can make sure we know how to support the product well before we begin advertising and stocking our resellers. If you have a favorite reseller you like doing business with, by all means wait a few weeks if you'd like to keep your business there. That's always a good idea.
The product requires an Apple iPhone/iPad to operate, and communicates via Bluetooth. As I'm sure you're all aware, Bluetooth can at times be a pain to set up. So we really need to know if there are gaps in documentation (or perhaps even in the assumptions we've made in the software) to get folks up and running quickly. Beta testers tend to have more patience than someone who actually shelled out good $$$ for a product. The expectations are different.
Check out our website to learn more about the product.
If you end up being one of the early adopters who do buy one, please email us a flight or two. We love to see flights, and the notes you jot down in the AltimeterThree app are fun to read, too. We're going to start posting a gallery of flights on our site that you can browse. Even disasters can be interesting.
Likewise, don't be shy about things you see missing in the User Guide (if you read those) or the website. We already have a list of future enhancements our testers would like--add yours to the list. This is a really capable platform to build on (for instance, the firmware can be updated over the air wirelessly), so we expect some cool future improvements that even early adopters will get as they are added.
