development of the SignPuddle Reader

Sat Apr 11 03:00:53 UTC 2009

Are you talking about the SignPuddle Reader, or SignPuddle in general?  
SignPuddle has always been readable on the iPhone. You just can't  
create documents as the drag and drop feature is not available on it  
for obvious reasons. As far as SignPuddle Reader which is something  
that Steve is working on, there are some things that are a little  
awkward that Steve wanted to know about that I am sure that he will  
figure a way around if it is at all possible as he is a genius like  
that. ;-)
