A minor setback

Today I have a little bit of bad news for you all.... As you might have already seen in my Twitter feed, I was planning to release the application on the Android Market today, however, because I still haven't been able to get my Google Checkout account verified I am not able to publish the application on the Market just yet....
My sincere apologies to everyone who was waiting for a release today.

Because posting just the above few lines would be a waste, I will also post some more information on the application. So here goes!

Brief Description ( As shown on the Market )

myClassicPet is an Application that tries to emulate the old Tamagotchi keychains from the 90's. For people not familiar with these keychains; this Application houses a so-called virtual pet, which you are expected to take care of!

You will have to feed it, see it to the bathroom, give it its medicine, let is sleep, play games with it and make it work out. When your pet is old and strong enough you will be able to battle your friends and their pets over Bluetooth!

The Application currently houses 16 different pets, can you unlock them all? Download the Application now and become the strongest creature breeder in your neighborhood!

And this is about all the information I can think of at the moment, as most of you might notice, a lot of this has been copied over from my first blogpost though... hehe....

Anyway, I hope that I'll be able to release this application soon enough, I know that a lot of people are waiting for it, I myself am also eager to release the application though. I hope you all have a good weekend!
