We're releasing Texas Child Support Calculator 2010 for Droid and Nexus One later this week. Right now, we're tinkering with the format and testing for accuracy.

Both the Droid and the Nexus One use the Android operating system. Although many mobile devices use Android, device resolutions differ. One version of the app will be built specifically for the Droid and another for the Nexus One. Depending on device resolution, the app also might be usable on other mobile devices running Android. We'll post details with the release.

We've had a number of inquiries lately about releasing a child support calculator for the Android OS. Motorola Droid and Google's Nexus One (plus some other phones) use Android.

Today I emailed with my software engineer about an Android version. He is enthusiastic. We should have an Android version of the child support calculator ready in two to three weeks. In the meantime, we'll see what we have to do to release it for Droid and Nexus One.

VernerLegal.com announces the release of CS Calc 2010. Version 2010 was uploaded to the Apple store today; app approval used to take up to two weeks but we've had some of our recent apps approved overnight.

CS Calc 2010 works the same way as the original CS Calc, released in July 2009 for use in 2009. Simply input five variables:

• Whether self employed
• Gross annual income
• Number of children before court
• Cost of health insurance for children
• Number of other children supporting

Click Calculate, and CS Calc 2010 will return Texas guideline child support.

The usefulness of information is limited by how long it will be until the information changes. Texas child support law draws on part of the federal tax code which changes annually even when Texas law does not. Our pricing policy is to cut the price of time-limited applications quarterly. We have cut the price of CS Calc 2009 accordingly.

Congress noremally tinkers with the tax code in November. Before the first of the year, the 2010 version of CS Calc will be available. We'll add a post to this blog to announce the new version.

Attorney Jeff Richardson writes the blog iPhone J.D., subtitled "Lawyers using iPhones." Jeff wrote a nice review of the Texas Child Support Calculator today. He called it a "great app" and said "this looks like money well spent" if you practice family law in Texas.

Thanks for the kind words, Jeff.

Texas Lawyer magazine's blog - called "Tex Parte Blog" - published a nice piece on the Texas Child Support Calculator today. It's called, Texas child support? There's an app for that.

Yesterday I received word that CS Calc has been approved by Apple and is now on iTunes. You can click to the app by clicking here.

You might have read of all the iTunes apps being submitted to Apple. FYI, it took eleven days for approval.
