Issue Summary
Are there plans to release a Drupal 7 version of this module? Are there any specific issues holding it back?

Great module for better UX! That said- I haven't tried this module at all, but really would like to use it on a D7 install based on the screenshot alone. So I decided to poke around in the D6 module......
I've spent most of the day working with the ajax and $node items to get it working as a preview on the node body. However, D7 doesn't really pay any special treatment to the body and summary (teaser) as it's simply a field instance (which could be deleted altogether on a given content type.)
I think the best approach will be provide more flexibility and options in the UI in order to target specific fields and respond to a change event in the textareas rather than having to manually scroll down and click update. I'll be working on this over the next few weeks as part of a project I'm on at the moment. Specifically, I'm interested in the node/field implementations, but will try to also incorporate comments support.
If any of the maintainers of this module are reading this.... is there currently any work happening in this direction for D7? Can we share progress and ideas rather than me getting so far and then realising that someone is already working on this? :)

I've not tried it yet, but I think http://drupal.org/project/ajax_markup provides similar functionnality to that of Live, but for Drupal 7.

Have you test it? does it provide the same functionality ?

With Markdown, Ajax Markup, BUEditor and markdowneditor, the preview button in the toolbar toggles the textarea from a textarea input form to an html preview provided by an ajax call to the markdown filter. Works well for my needs, but it doesn't preview as you type. Ajax Markup is still a good starting up if that's what you want. It could be investigated further. Me, I just stuck the modules together and hoped for the best ;-)
