Shapewriter Going Away

[SkyG]

I couldn't find it yesterday. Anyone able to back it up so we can download it?

For the people who say they cannot find it, what phone are you using? Not sure if it matters, but I am on the Incredible and I can still search and find it (including all the additional language downloads). Not sure if it has anything to do with me having it installed on my phone already either though.

Not really gone... ;-)

The last version.. 3.09.. is indeed gone.
But the version just prior, 3.04 is still readily available for download. You just have to look for it. I found it in multiple places...

I just downloaded it in case I need it due to a reset or whatever.

Yes, I know the rules about warez... however, I would argue that this version was the latest version, and was available free of charge, prior to the developing company being purchased by Nuance. And even the most stringent software copyright laws do not and can not prohibit an end user from creating a backup copy of software they are legally licensed to use. By protecting the app from normal backup procedures, and by Nuance pulling the app off the market, that is exactly what the purchasing company has attempted to do - prevent backup copies being created for use by licensed users.

Having said that... if you are a previous user, and you are in need of a backup copy of the app in case of device failure, etc....

I would recommend a google search including the following search keywords:
