What is the upgrade policy for Takephone? I noticed in this post that this upgrade is free. Are all upgrades free or do you charge for updates? There are so many policies out there. Register for a specific device so you have to buy the software if you get a new device, or register for a major release and pay upgrade fees, lifetime registration, so on and so forth. I went to your site to look for terms didn't find it there. I downloaded the zip file from palmgear and read the readme and the manual under registration info...still no answers. I could have missed it but just want to know the details.
