Circumventing beta expiry with implied permission

Jumping in - you guys did declare that you'd offer another extended beta release by 1st April, and you didn't make it on time. It seems to me morally acceptable to use the program as you said you'd let us do by a certain amount of trickery while we waited for delivery. I've mentioned before that other products that spend a long time as time-limited beta will be updated for users well before the expiry date, if the beta phase is to continue at all.

I also spent hours at my work station yesterday, where I earn a wage and, due to disability, I depend on Fitaly to do so, trying to work around the critical fault in yesterday's release. That meant I didn't do the work that I was supposed to use Fitaly to do. And I have deadlines.

But the financial reality on your side is telling. Less than 100 users? And presumably anyone who hasn't downloaded in the last 24 hours isn't interested any more. A programmer takes how much per hour...

I don't know what we can do to keep you in this game. I would be willing to pay a fee for the program we've got - perhaps a monthly subscription after an initial trial period, if you want to stay in beta. Alternatively, my own need might be met with a PocketPC device configured as keyboard controller to the PC and running PPC Fitaly - I think we've discussed VNC before. Or, to keep Windows Fitaly going, there are the new Windows XP pocket-size devices coming. (Watch out, PocketPC's days may be numbered.) And your ninety-nine faithful sheep can evangelise for you, although Tablet users I meet online are probably already sick of me doing so.

I need Fitaly. I also would quite like right-click for capital letters for instance... because I'm "tapping" with floating pen that doesn't touch the Tablet screen, and a trackball under the other hand. And I'd like the keystrokes spoken so that I can speed up by hearing mistakes that I don't see because I'm looking for the next letter - but I can do that with SoundPilot, $15.55, which, however, my employer has instructed me not even to /think/ about buying for my workstation.
