Helios is our first application and we are very proud of the result and the reactions. We designed Helios as a tool primarily for Cinematographers and photographers dealing in natural light. It pleases us greatly that professionals in other fields see the worth of applications aimed at the sophisticated user. Our closest competition is a desktop application that costs $100 and needs a $250 combination compass and inclinometer to make sense of the data. We think that at $30 Helios is a bit of a bargain. As for porting this app to the blackberry, the RIM operating system simply would not allow this level of application, the blackberry has no inclinometer or magnetometer which makes Helios work so well. As for PC applications, there are a number out there to choose from. Ultimately the iPhone was the only device available to us that could reflect the level of functionality we were trying to offer.

The indication of this trend is that Apple has sold 1 Billion iPhone applications in the first nine months. This whole phenomena is a part of why Apple had it's biggest quarter ever in the first quarter of 2009 and in the second quarter their revenues increased 15%. This in now more than a phone, it's a computing platform. These kind of applications are fast becoming the primary reason to own an iPhone.
