    18 TABLES!!!

    The download is in the queue behind a number of other poker developments, and scheduled for February release. 

    Ahead of that we've got heads up rematches, play a similar sit & go, multi table tiling and seat rotation coming in the next two weeks, addons and rebuys coming in early November, a redesign of the website home page and poker lobby coming in late November and Omaha is being worked on for release in the new year also.   Not wanting to make excuses, but to give you an insight into our prioritisation, we'd have liked to get the download completed and out in November, but its design relies heavily on the new website design, so it was felt essential that was released first.

    So there are lots of developments in the pipeline and we'd love to get it all out as soon as possible, but each new feature has to meet a strict schedule for design and development and be tested comprehensively before it can be released. 

    Thanks for your patience and we're always looking for a couple of players to help test some of these features, so if you are interested please post here.

    Regards,

    Des.

    If you're digging around, an update on the delivery date for the implementation of a "proper" hand history would be appreciated too. Thanks.

    Spot on mate, Whilst the idea of a downloadable version is tantalising, I have had no problems with the browser version.

    Also downloadable versions carry the threat of external poker programs making all the decisions for a player. Something sky has so far been void of.

    Many other sites carry this threat and another post here somewhere said these programs are operated by up to 40% of players on some sites.

    I prefer my poker 'untarnished' so to speak.

    bump! a downloadable client would b good, but only if incorparated certain features, like saving hand histories to your drive, and being able to resize/tile tables (i have to permanantly play 1 table at a time in mini mode on my netbook) etc... itd b great if they took inspiration from the 'stars client

    Does anyone else not agree that all these thing we are asking for eg. download client, hand history, rezise ect should come standard as with most other leading poker sites, i think that if sky spent the money it would be great for there profits because more players would stick around and more would come....

    A couple months ago, I posted a thread in the tecchie forum explaining the best way to cater for multi tablers with a downloadable client.  Someone said they would send it to the tecchie team.

    I would be happy to test the downloadable client.  In fact I think it is essential, lol.
