Pokitto POP programmer v .1 is a helper tool for people who have difficulties copying the binary (.bin) files from their PC (Windows and Machintosh, Linux coming soon) to Pokitto.
Pokitto POP programmer can:
guide you how to connect your Pokitto to the computer
shows you when Pokitto is connected
shows the file currently in Pokitto active memory (in the handbag!)
copies file you have selected correctly to the Pokitto, bypassing any problems
automatically unmounts Pokitto correctly on Mac
Installation
Download and unpack to any place you want. These programs are fully self-contained and do not put anything into Windows registry etc. On Mac, you may need to go to security settings to allow the installation of an uncertified program.
The program is really easy to use, just try it, you can’t break anything by using it.

(And Jonne just beat me too it my 1 minute, but oh well. At least I know what “…” is supposed to be now.)
Edit:
I exctracted all of those from en.mo in the Windows distro, but afterwards I decided to peek in the Mac version and found Localizable.strings:
“FileHelp.kBrowse” = “Browse…”;
“FileHelp.kWaiting” = “2. Connect Pokitto … not connected”;
“FileHelp.kConnected” = “2. Connect Pokitto … connected!”;
“FileHelp.kFile” = “1. Choose a program file (.bin)”;
“FileHelp.kProgram” = “Program”;
“FileHelp.kHelpText1” = “Do Step 1: turn off Pokitto”;
“FileHelp.kHelpText2” = “Do Step 2: connect Pokitto with USB cable to PC”;
“FileHelp.kHelpText3” = “Do step 3: Press and HOLD lower button at the back”;
“FileHelp.kHelpText4” = “Do Step 4: while STILL HOLDING back button, turn Pokitto back on”;
“FileHelp.kHelpTitle” = “Connecting Pokitto for programming”;
“FileHelp.kHelpText5” = “Ready! You can close this help. If you are still not connected, do this wizard again.”;
Finnish version
“FileHelp.kBrowse” = “Selaa…”;
“FileHelp.kWaiting” = “2. Yhdistä Pokitto … ei yhteyttä”;
“FileHelp.kConnected” = “2. Yhdistä Pokitto … yhteydessä!”;

I don’t think I’m the target market for this sort of tool
I’m perfectly happy with using drag & drop on Windows.
It works perfectly 100% of the time.
As for translations, I could contribute something in cat or orangutan, but I don’t think my Japanese or French are good enough to make something a native wouldn’t laugh at.
