I just downloaded... It's totally addictive. A bit pricy but I might just have to scrape the 20 bucks together and buy the darn thing (I just can't put it down).
The graphics are good, sound is good, gameplay is addictive (you have been warned :wink: )
...AND its making me thirsty

Very cool game. I have played with a beta version of it for the past couple of weeks, and am writing a review of it now. Great gameplay, graphics and everything. Very, very addictive!

I really like the look of that program. Graphics are very 'cad' like. The edges are sharp, but with style. Which mean no bad 'halo'. Does anybody here know what kind of graphics application can do that?
(I am a gfx guy)

My first experience with a computer was an old Apple ][ that had Lemonade Stand running on it! It was addicting then ... and I've been waiting for at least three months for this program to get released.
No need for the demo... I'm going to support the Pocket PC gaming developers by just buying it right off the bat... to help keep the folks interested in developing thought provoking games like Lemonade Inc.
BTW... if anyone knows where I can find a copy of that original Apple ][ version drop me a line... I'd love to load it on my old, trusty //e, and see just how primitive it looks compared to my iPaq!!

The demo left me wanting more. But my question for all you guys out there...how's the replayability on this thing? It seems like you'd get kinda bored after a while?

Well, I've only been playing it for a bit, but the cool thing about simulators like this is that the environment will change every day, and you can try different tactics every time you play - different variables, etc.

Right. I just don't want to buy a game that I won't even want to play in 3 weeks time.
