Great iPhone release. Can’t wait for the remainder of beginner & the higher levels to be published. I have also started with Rosetta Stone but am finding your method much more aligned to the way I learn. Would it be an idea to put a question into the iPhone app to ask how many people would wish to commit or are likely to commit to the next and future higher levels? In that way, you’d have an understanding of potential revenue from unique users. Obviously I’m biased, because I want you to assign more resources to production so I can learn more quickly!
Thanks for all the work so far and I look forward to the next releases.

This is a phenomenal system, i love it and have recommended it to several people already! They are all really interested and cannot wait to get an Ipod touch so that they can recieve all of the benefits.
I on the other hand, cannot wait for more lessons, I am motoring through them really quickly and cannot wait to get better
