It really is as stable as it gets, at least as far as your data is concerned. Being JET based, every change is saved immediately, so even if the app does crash, occasionally, your data is safe. In the 4 years that IQ has been available on the Net (yup, that's a hell of a long time to be in beta, I know...), there has been 2 or 3 reports of data loss, and the causes have been fixed (all linked to advanced features, not normally used by users)
That said, the current effort is towards mobile device sync. We've got working prototype synching calendar, tasks and contacts with the corresponding Google services, as a bridge to your mobile devices.
There is still a lot of changes I'd like to do, but v1.0 release is likely once this sync effort is complete.
HTH !

Pierre, it's been a while :-)
Yes, I try to restrain my presence to the IQ forum.
I have a pre-license to InfoQube and for me it remains
one of the strong hopes for the future, even though I never quite spent the time to put it
into real use; I remember I had practically announced I would here, but day-to-day
works makes it difficult to integrate new tools into my workflow --kind of a Catch 22
situation I guess.
You're not the only one in this situation !
My increased numerical needs provide a renewed incentive and I
intend to try it further. I have one question: I've heard numerous times from IQ users
that it's as stable as it gets, but I am still timid to use v0.x software in a
professional environment. Can you say a couple of words about the upcoming
development and expected official launch?
