Just to weigh in on this - I think first releasing on iPhone without Flashcards is perfectly acceptable, and "release early, release often" is probably the right strategy. However from my individual perspective, these are the core features that I want, and I'll be holding onto my Palm until they're in Pleco for iPhone:
- The dictionaries, of course (Particularly ABC, Oxford and Guifan)
- Self-scored repetition-spaced flashcards (The modes I use are: First show char, then reveal meaning and pron; and first show meaning and pron, then reveal char)
- Ability to convert/move my flashcards DB from Palm over to the iPhone (I'd probably be prepared to Jailbreak, if it was necessary)
- Flashcards DB needs to have categories, flashcards system should have profiles
Once those are available on Pleco for iPhone, I'll be switching immediately. I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for the "cross-grade".
