Don't read too much into it.

I have had a couple of job interviews that asked to see some product that was available and commercial. A dead product doesn't count and doubly doesn't count if it's not Cocoa / iOS. A simple app shows I can do the job, but doesn't mean I need to do anything to support it going forward or make a much money is a "safe" app from an employers perspective.

Also I haven't gone through the "process" of getting an app approved on the App Store before either, which was a real bureaucratic eye opener. I did learn that QuickTime is officially dead - Apple will not accept any new apps in the App store that links to QuickTime or QTKit frameworks (my app was rejected in December for that reason). So I had to build my own MP4 atom parser (AVFoundation can't do that like QuickTime could) and then learned Apples AVFoundation API in the process to finnish off what I started.

So this doesn't mean anything with respect to astronomy, medical or microscopy applications and driver development, just a bit of self promotion.
