Brilliant product, useless support: by Jaco Muller from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
on May 3, 2007; This is an excellent product and very easy to use just do not bother to buy it if you have Windows Mobile5 and do not bother to try to get support. I bought the desktop studio and the PPC printer version only to discover that WM5 is not supported. I e-mailed the support service and they promptly reply that it would be ready in February 2007. It is now May 2007. I have send several inquiries about the status of the update with no reply. I have also asked a question about one of the build in functions and again no reply. I have send e-mails to every single e-mail address on their website but no response. The website has not been updated for ages ? so I do not know what is going on with them. This is a pity because the simulation on my Notebook PC looks impressive; I just cannot transfer it to the PCC, which obviously is the whole idea.

Blown away by the ease of use!: by Jack Armstrong from Toronto Ontario Canada
