Looks like Smart-Edit paid-for version has been released this month. It has a “Special Introductory Price Until December 31st” at USD69.95, which seems pretty steep for an introductory price… I wonder what the full price is going to be…
“Though minor upgrades are free to licensed users, the software is sold ‘as is’, for what it does today, not for what it might do in the future. “
The free version has been also updated to 1.1.0.2.

The new version (3) of Smart Edit is out; find it at the link above. Significant feature improvements have been made apparently. Among others, the software can now edit directly Word and Open Office documents.
Full price is now $59.95 and there appears to be no free version. PageFour license owners like myself should have received an offer to purchase at 25% off within a week.
The software is aimed at ‘creative’ writers; I assume this means fiction. I find non-fictional reality quite complex as it is, and not planning to start a novel anytime soon (then again, neither did people like Jeffrey Archer…). Nevertheless, it seems to me that Smart Edit’s developer has done his homework, putting together a tool which is straightforward to use and which could provide useful insights to writers beyond his core target group.
