jws - Who are your competitors? Is yours done, or does it still need work?

  The field is musical instrument tuners. Mine is not completed, and can't be until I can run on the hardware. I must choose which techniques will yield the best results within the confines of the available CPU power. My test version uses many algorithms in parallel for the purposes of studying them. I was working under the assumption that Apple would open the gates a few weeks before release day and that would be time for me to select the algorithm, but I was wrong.

    I take it there's a lot still to be done? Otherwise why not give it a shot and see how it does?

      Support. If sell a copy, then I will be obliged to provide support for years. I won't take on that burden without a reasonable upside. I'll probably publish my findings on pitch detection algorithms and send the rest to the bit bucket.

        Thats a good point. What's your estimate on how much support you'd need to provide? I'm not being a pain here, I'd really actually interested to know how much you think you'd have to do, and where that intersects with making money to make the venture worthwhile in your eyes.
