G'day all
The Audubon guide to North American birds is still showing at $2.99.  I'm 
installing it now so haven't compared it with the iBird guide but at a couple 
of dollars each why not have both?  Most of us have several Aussie field guide 
books.
I can't speak for the Android platform but Apple's store clearly states what 
version of iPhone/iPod/iPad you need to run any app.
I've paid top dollar for each of the field guide apps I have and don't regret 
the cost.  I just wish there were apps for other countries/regions.  Greater 
Europe is an obvious gap.  South America would be a huge task.  Africa is only 
represented by the Sasol guide to southern countries (get this one too!).  The 
Sibley guide to North America has not been offered at a discount but I have no 
doubt it is worth the $20 asking price.  If anyone sees it discounted please 
let the group know.
These things will only get better.  The iBird app has been greatly enhanced 
since I bought my copy in 2009.  None of these updates cost a cent.
As a famous Aussie music guru says - "Do yourselves a favour" and check out 
these great resources.
Cheers
Steve
