I've been using this for the past few weeks and like it. Hope yahoo lets them continue on their own.

Congratulations to Aviate. I think they're just a new company, I'm not sure.

I really love their home screen and I was afraid that Yahoo might shut them down. If that's the case I don't have anything to replace from Aviate. I like the combination of Aviate as home screen and Cover[0] as my lock screen.

It's not a bad product, but they don't actually care for treating even bug reports of the most simple and obvious kind respectfully. Somehow i doubt merging into Yahoo is gonna fix that.

I think it depends on how much they pay for it. If the price is high, then they want the product. If the price is low, they want the people. Of course even if the price is high, sometimes companies muck it up anyway.

This might be out of context, but a question though. How this companies get bought? Of course, building a great product is part of it. But are they shopping around, emailing / visiting bigger companies to buy them? Or they will just wait until some bigger company contact them and have some negotiations?
