Version 0.0.2 of LearnLojban, the flash-card program for PDA's and Smartphones has been released. You can download it at: 

http://www.gulik.co.nz/LearnLojban_0.0.2.zip
The zip file above contains installation instructions. You will need SuperWaba installed, downloadable for free from http://www.superwaba.org/install.
This version of LearnLojban is fairly stable, and I'm using it daily now. New features include: 

- now uses the up/down buttons on the PalmPilot (and other devices???).
- shows the number of the word, so you can see how far you've come.
- recent words are repeated more often than older words.
- you now can start from any word in the deck.
Could I also ask for somebody with a Windows CE-based PDA to test this? I only have my own PDA and the PalmPilot emulator to test with. Email me; I don't bite... much.

 Mikevdg,
thanks for creating this! Since a flashcard program is also useful as a word lookup program, one helpful feature which it would be great to have in future releases would be to automatically hyperlink any word in a definition to that word's flashcard (if any).
Oooh... now that's a good idea. Umm.. I guess the problem would be that the definitions are all in English, so the only Lojban word in there would be the one that you're learning. I'll add in the low-priority basket for the meanwhile. One idea would be to use the Lojban->Lojban dictionary, but that would be pretty hard to learn from. Another idea would be to add usage examples to the jbovlaste entries.
The next feature to work on is to add bi-directional "dictionary" functionality so you can look up Lojban words on the fly. That'll be a bit of a mission.
