First of all: Congrats on one of the best Android apps available in the Play Store! I missed the upgrade-price window because life happened exactly around the release-time (was following the forum daily before that, but somehow missed the release until yesterday), but even at "full price" this new app is more than worth it and I bought it without even thinking about it. So still: Kudos to Zuberman!
And now for my real question: I know this will probably come across as ungrateful for all the work you've put in already, but is there a rough ETA for the Windows 8 version of MobileSheetsPro? I've been using MobileSheets(Pro) on a small Android-tablet (Motorola Xoom 8.2") for some years, but the tablet is starting to age (general slowness, diminishing battery life) and my eyes are starting to degrade as well. Hence a bigger screen is needed. Last year I bought an Asus T100 (Windows 8 tablet + dock) as note-taking tool for teaching, and I've since started using that for displaying sheet-music during concerts as well. It works pretty well with the Adobe Reader app (even with bluetooth pedal-support!), but there is no easy way to make annotations on PDF's. The only app on Windows 8 that supports this is Xodo Documents, but it's pretty cumbersome and it suffers where it counts, in the page-turning department.
Long story short: I'd love to use MobileSheetsPro on my Asus T100. I already use that tablet for every other thing imaginable, so I'm not really looking to buy another Android-tablet just for MobileSheetsPro if I can avoid it. It would be nice to have a rough estimate. Are we looking at the same development time it took for MobileSheetsPro (e.g. years), or is the port to Windows 8/10 going to be pretty straightforward (e.g. months)? Not trying to rush you, just trying to estimate if it would be worth it to buy another Android-tablet in the interim. Because that's how much using MobileSheetsPro is worth to me ;-)
Side-question: Would you include support for the Surface-pen? That would probably make me insta-buy a Surface 3 or Surface Pro 3. Although maybe by the time the Windows 8-version comes around, the Surface 4 might already be among us. Here's to progress!
PS Just to prove how much I love using MobileSheets(Pro): I tried running it on the Asus T100 through the Bluestacks Android-software (paid for it!). Worked pretty well, but the bluetooth-performance (page-turning with pedals) was too erratic to be used reliably in concerts.
