What we’ve been up to lately

Here’s what’s been going on at Livewire in the last few weeks – because, well, why not? It’s a blog ,isn’t it?

Finishing up the LDM iphone app – which has been a big project that has presented us with some unique challenges. The Android version is likely to come out even before the iphone one simply because IOS has some, shall we say, uniqueness to it that makes hooking all 3 systems together a problem.

We have about a dozen other projects going on at this time – PHEW!, it’s been a busy, busy summer.
