Can we have the option for custom user types?

Ideally there would be at a minimum 2 users,

Users with full access
Users with read only access

read only would be great for those who wish to check sales on the go - but can avoid the common accidental edits on a touch screen device.

Ideally it would replicate user based restrictions which are on the store - but this may be for a future update.

Actually we are planning to release read-only version of app as free edition, and paid version with full access. We will carefully think about it.
We will definitely add multistore mode when admin can control several X-Cart stores from one app.

ie I delete a product on the site via the app and it no longer appears on the site, but is not removed permanently for 24/48 hours as a precaution in case of accidental edits, or in worst case a misplaced / lost device.

This would provide sufficient time to revert changes if necessary

We are very careful planning and work with "edit" features. The app doesn't allow to delete any information from the store.
If you want to "delete" product from a store you can just disable it. The current version of the app allows to do it right now.

The Windows phone version will be released if the project became successful. I mean when we earn money to cover investments:)

Any idea of price tag?

Re: X-Cart Admin mobile application

Something which I have in my admin/provider pages at the top is a query of total number of processed orders, ie. orders requring action. Its a good indication of the amount of work required at any point in time.

Amazon seller central has this and I took the idea from this and put into the php to display it clear.

Re: X-Cart Admin mobile application

Just a quick question from a security point of view (apologies I have not had a chance to test the module yet)

Will users have the same login info as the full site ( I assume they would ) and are these passwords able to be stored on the device in an encrypted / non readable format?

Just looking to migrate risks of potential lost devices with admin access.

Many thanks for the clarification.

It is impossible to get the users passwords from the mobile device somehow just because the device doesn't receive, save or cache user passwords from the x-cart server.

In the same time the authorization process doesn't require admin's email and/or password too. Instead of it the App uses a secret key. The key must be generated by the admin at backend and stored in the app's settings. In case if the device has been lost or stollen the admin should generate new access key asap.
