The title say it all really. A big thank you to everyone who use and has rated Days Until. 

Why you may ask? Well Google recently announced that any developer who has an application on the market place with over 5000 downloads and a rating of 3.5 stars or more will receive a free phone. Thanks to everyone who has rated and downloaded Days Until, I have qualified!

I admit I was a little sceptical about the whole thing when I got the email and considered some sort of scam, as did many other developers. But once it was confirmed I filled in the forms and yesterday got the confirmation that they would be shipping a phone to me. 

Being in Europe I will receive a nexus one. The funny thing is the night before I received the initial email I nearly brought one, being tired out and not wanting to hunt down my credit card was the only reason I didn't!

While I am grateful to Google for being so generous it is to all you guys who took your time to download and rate Days Until that receive an equal measure of gratitude. For someone who creates free apps and does not earn that much from the advertising receiving a free phone is a very nice surprise. It will certainly help with the development and testing of applications.

I am very close to shipping another upgrade for Days Until, that will enable you to display multiple events, I have spent the past week chasing down problems when the orientation changes. Hopefully I have now got them all but want to spend a few more days testing before releasing. 

Nearing the end of the month I am hoping to actually find some time to work on another application but life does seem quite busy at the moment as I am having to fit in a fair amount of training for a marathon I plan to do at the start of May.

Again, thanks to all those that helped
