[Athen] Questions re: DAISY on iPhone, iPad

[Pratik Patel]

And thus the obvious response, when we believe that the product is
sufficiently ready to be tested.  It's a bit tricky to get a product
approved with third-party API's. I can tell you that the price will be $9.99
unless we have to pay additional licensing charges for any portion of our
product.

Regards,

Pratik
