New SmugMug viewer/portfolio app in time for iOS 6?

Just wanted to check in again to hopefully get a status update on the progress of the new iPad/iPhone app to view your hosted photos (which would replace the existing ageing app)?

It's to be the complement of the new Camera Awesome app for shooting/uploading your pics (which itself is a redesign of the old SmugShot app).

Is SmugMug hoping to release this before iOS 6 in the fall? Or is the development now targetting to run on the new iOS 6?

I still have high hopes for it to have something for everyone (both authenticated & public access, both online & offline viewing, both photos & videos, both casual & portfolio uses, and most importantly bug-free and with a great interface and layout)...

P.S. Will there be a simultaneous Android release? And any dev plans for Windows Phone 8 / Windows RT? Doesn't hurt to keep one's options open :)

    Check out Andy's post on the same topic. Since we generally don't talk about any unreleased things, I can't really comment any further. Sorry.
    Once something new is available, it'll be announced through the usual channels, like our news blog.

    Thanks Sebastian. I'll choose to read between the lines in your reply, and maintain hope :D

    All these "retina display" tablets/phones are really itching for a good in-house gallery viewer app (since 3rd-party apps can break with site/API changes)...

    I'd been looking forward to 4 apps (among others) from the iOS App Store all these months:

    - new SmugMug gallery viewer (has been pending the longest)
    - OnLive streaming game player (iOS release uncertain thanks to Apple)
    - Week Calendar HD for iPad (iPhone version updated, dev hints of iPad re-release)
    - Google Drive (now out for iOS but still missing editing/management features)

    I may discontinue our Dropbox & Evernote paid subscriptions when the Google Drive app is fully fleshed out or integrated w/ Quickoffice (since you know Drive will have as much widespread 3rd party app support, especially with their newly expanded SDK).

    Heck if Google merges Drive, Picasa Web Albums and Google+ photos in the right way, it may take some of the casual photo market from SmugMug et al?
