We have had communication with Apple which indicates that there will be no further obstacle to our putting updates on the App Store, which gives us the green light to further develop this application. Thanks Apple!!!!

Last week Airsource finally submitted an update to Optiscan, version 1.5. At long last, we’ve had some positive, direct communication with people at Apple, which leads us to believe that they will approve our update within the next week or so. This will allow us to return Optiscan to the App Store!
The new release will include automatic scanning. It will also fully support the iPhone 3GS and iPhone OS 3.0+, and incorporate various performance improvements that we’ve developed over the seven months since the 1.4 update. Most excitingly, the green light from Apple will open the way for us to commence further development of this product — watch this space!

Airsource are pleased to announce the release of Cellar, developed together with Glasshouse Apps, on the Apple App Store!
Cellar is designed to keep track of your wine, and remember what to buy next time you visit the store, thanks to the app’s unique ‘Garage’ feature.
Cellar is not just a list, it’s an actual Cellar! Using it is “almost as fun as drinking the wine you collect” - Michael Rose, tuaw.com. Cellar is a visual, editable, swipeable showcase. And when you have finished a bottle, if you would like to keep it for reference in the future, store it in the Garage where all your archived bottles are ordered by star rating, ready to be repurchased and moved back to the Cellar.
Organizing your wine collection has never been so much fun!
Now available at a release sale price of 99 cents on the App Store.

We have decided to remove version 1.4 of Optiscan from sale until Apple approve version 1.5, due to a bug which affects automatic scanning devices that have been upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0. The user experience using version 1.4 on iPhone OS 3.0 is not acceptable, and we don’t want to introduce new users to the application this way.
Hopefully Apple will approve version 1.5 soon, at which point we will return Optiscan to the App Store.
We still want to support our existing users. Owners of Optiscan with an urgent need to have the application working on iPhone OS 3.0 should contact us to explain their situation, using the problem reporting features of the application. Subject to workload, we may be able to assist.

To all our customers who have purchased Optiscan:
Version 1.4 of Optiscan, currently on the App Store, does not support automatic scanning on iPhone OS 3.0. We sent version 1.5, which fixes this problem and adds some new features, to Apple about three weeks ago, but it has not yet been approved for distribution. Apple have been extremely busy, but with the OS update expected out on Friday and no word on our update, we felt it was important to post a warning!
The application still functions correctly in all other respects. But, if the automatic scanning function is important to you, please delay updating to iPhone OS 3.0 until Apple publishes our more recent release.
