I think 1.0 means a version that is strong enough so that you can legitimately charge money for it. GameSalad is already doing this. Many GameSalad developers are already making money with the software. It's just semantics.
Obviously GameSalad games need better performance and the GameSalad Creator has issues. Should we expect this to greatly improve in three months? Right now, BOT has 2-3 loading times between scenes on an iPhone 4. Is that going to drop to 0-1 seconds? If so, then that's a significant improvement and worthy of 1.0 status. Otherwise, I don't see the need to make a big issue out of it. Unless something major is going to happen to the software... I think 1.0 should launch already and aggressive marketing should begin.
