I'm sorry you feel that way about i3... but you took what I said a bit out of context. I wrote that in answer to someone who's main complaint was the price of the app. That person didn't say anything was wrong with i3 except the price so I answered "what would make you pay $25 for it, whats missing in it for you?"...

i3 is a home-made project still in very early stages. I could tell you we have a GPS application, a video application and an mp3 application and are considering ways to insert those into i3... but for now we're keeping i3 as an application launcher as all integrated applications are in somewhat early stages of development (Fabio had them working on his mac defender though...).

Something I've said from the start and will keep insisting on is that i3 will go in whatever direction the majority of feedback we get pushes it. It's really up to you guys to tell us, we want this or that. We've evolved much from v1.0 to v1.1. V1.1.1 is ready and we're trying to add one more customization option before we post it!

I'm sorry if you don't believe in charging for work / hobbies / software (whatever you want to call it) but would people rather we keep this to ourselves? It's pretty apealing to have a unique project too, you know?

Carputers have been a "geek" thing... maybe i3 can change that if we can make the application simple enough. If no one thinks it's worth the effort to give us some good feedback then maybe it's not worth the effort to try and sell this... let's just keep it for ourselves! On a side not the most positive feedback we've received is exactly from people who want an application launcher.. we've even received a "please don't integrate applications... i want to use my own ones..."
