Update: The full version of Mental Case 2.0 for iPhone is now available.

Several months in development, Mental Case Lite 2.0 for iPhone and iPod touch today made its debut in the iTunes App Store. Mental Case Lite is a free upgrade to Mental Case 1.0 for iPhone/iPod touch, and features a much improved user interface, and the ability to browse and search — but not download from — FlashcardExchange.com.

Mental Case Lite is the little brother of Mental Case 2.0 for iPhone/iPod touch, which is still in the App Store submission process. Mental Case is almost identical to Mental Case Lite, but allows you to add and edit notes on the iPhone, and sync them back to your Mac. It also allows you to download flashcards directly to your iPhone from FlashcardExchange.com, which means even Linux and Windows users now have a means of transferring cards to Mental Case on their iPhone. The full edition of Mental Case will be priced at $7.99, and should be available in the App Store shortly.

Mental Case is in the Give Good Food to Your Mac Bundle that is running at the moment. The bundle is offering Mental Case for $15 — whether you are a student or not — but that is not all: if you buy multiple apps, you get a further discount. Full details can be found in the press release below.

Mental Case is included in the latest Mac Bundle Box software bundle. It includes 10 apps, worth a total of $341.80, for just $49. Give it a look!

We're running a one day promo on the MacUpdatePromo site on Wednesday the 7th of October, 2008. You'll get the full-priced edition of Mental Case for just $12.95. Get in quick!

Version 1.0.1 of Mental Case for iPhone/iPod touch is now available. The most important improvement is better layout of slides, and landscape mode: simply turn the screen to view slides in landscape. Note that you can flick the screen left or right to navigate the slide show.

Mental Case for iPhone (iPod touch) was accepted into the iTunes App Store today. To download it, either search for it in iTunes or in the App Store on your iPhone, or click this link to open it in iTunes.

To celebrate the release of Mental Case for iPhone, we are making a special offer: the first 500 people to enter the coupon code below will get Mental Case for Mac for $10. That's less than half price.

If you've been holding back with your purchase, this is a good chance to take the plunge. If you already have a license, let your friends know about the offer.

Version 1.4 of Mental Case has been released in preparation for the new Mental Case iPhone app, which should appear in the coming week or so. We have finished development on Mental Case for iPhone 1.0, and submitted it to Apple for approval. Assuming all goes well, it should be available via the iTunes App Store shortly.

In the meantime, Mental Case 1.4 has a new item in the File menu for syncing with the iPhone which will not be very useful. Just ignore it, and be rest assured that it's day will come...

Today we simplified pricing of Mental Case somewhat. Many of our customers are students, and receive the education discount. This led to more administrative work for us, and inconvenience for users, so we have decided to do away with the education discount for students and academics. To compensate this change, we are reducing the price of a Mental Case license from $39 to $25, for all new users. (School teachers can still get Mental Case for free.)

Mental Case will be undergoing some major changes in the coming months, and we would like to make sure everything goes smoothly. To help us in our quest, we would like to engage a number of enthusiastic Mental Case users to help beta test releases before they go out to the public. If you fall into this category, and would like to contribute, please send an email to info@mentalcase.maccoremac.com.
