"It’s still early days, though – we are about to embark on the design process proper, and all we can say in terms of a release date is that our iPad and iPhone versions will be out some time in 2012."

So to be clear, a release is not imminent. Looking forward to seeing how this works out, though; Scrivener is a really different sort of writing environment for the Mac.

(ahem) ...and Windows. Although I realy think that a clean, native LaTeX export for both of the current platforms (something that can avoid the current MultiMarkdown intermediate kludge) should be a higher priority than shuffling index cards on the corkboard on keyboardless devices.

  I’m very pleased to announce that we have just
  signed contracts with a developer, Jen Yates,
  to develop the iOS versions for us.

That name gave me a turn, as they (used to) say, since Jen Yates is also the name of the woman who runs the site cakewrecks.com, and I'm pretty sure I would have known if she was a programmer. I'm still only pretty sure...
