Portable tuners

Your very right that there are many portable tuner that cost less than the shareware price of the AP Tuner. My goal of the tuner was to provide a rock solid instrument tuner that will give you unparalleled performance and accuracy. I think for the most part, it beets the competition, hands down. Its major downfall is it not very portable. For some people, this is no big deal. College students in dorms like it because its free to try and they all have computers in their rooms, newbiees like it because most tuners have no idea what an octave is, and some people like as a extra peice to their mini-studio. You have to ask yourself is it worth the $35 dollars to you. If not, then just use it unregistered. I propursely made the unregistered version with no restrictions on time or features, because I who only kinda like it to still get to use it. I you find in ten years that you can't live without it, then pay for it then.

Also, I have been contemplating making the tuner as portable device, more for the satisfaction of making something superior in quality to technolodgy today. I know it would be fairly expensive, because you just cant produce a $25 tuner without being a mega-corporation with super cheap parts. It would be a niche high-end product. If anyone thinks thats a cool idea, drop me a message at tuner@springnet1.com
