At this point, its in the hands of Apple. We've submitted it to the iPhone store, and when they release it, you will be able to find it.

Does the app support notifications? I'd love to know when it is my turn.

Although i don't know, i don't think so. Because apple doesn't allow a process in the background. You have to live with emails.

Could be mistaken though....

They support push notification though. Basically at certain intervals the phone checks for certain things to update, e-mail being one of them. I hope the app will work with push notifications, I get enough e-mail already.

Yes, that is what I implied by "notifications". Here is to hoping that it is supported by the app.

Very much looking forward to the app, Erik & Co. Thanks for developing it...

How much will I need to exact from my wallet to obtain it?

ClaypOT, The iPhone is the money drainer. I think the chess app will be free?

The screen shots look great!

Sloth138, it generally takes about 2 weeks from submission to release (assuming the app is approved for release).

I too think the screen shots look good and the functionality description adds to the promise that this could be a very nice thing.

yeah, didn't see that FREE in large letters... heheh...

The screenshots do look great. I'm sure it will be a whole bunch faster loading the games than a full-site page using 3G...

Usually takes Apple about two weeks from submission to release (assuming it checks out aptly).
