Final Post Until...

This will be the final post about iMedia '08 until it comes out. That way I'm not totally spamming my blog about it... Anyway, some recent press releases say that iMedia '08's coding makes it perfect for virtually ANY environment including Windows, Mac, and Linux because it's built using a nicer version of the beloved HTML. It's also very nice because it requires ONE html file on your computer. And I'm not sure how big it is, but it can't be over 99kb I know that for sure. Plus you don't have to download updates because it's linked right to the internet so that MiiCom can issue updates without any hassle. But, in the future, it will work it's way into a normal application that doesn't have one version that works on all systems...

MiiCom also recently released that they will also be starting a short little package called iLabor '08. (Yes, they did say it sounded like they're copying Apple but they're not trying to.) So far it will feature programs like iServr, iBrowse 3.2 and iMail 5.4.1. (All of which right now are not that advanced because they need to be communicating with any system out there so give 'em a break.) There are said to be 1 or 2 more applications in this bundle but I'm not sure.

Last thing:
Finally, before we wrap this up, iMedia '08 will probably be shipped with a non-functioning iTV feature but they will issue an update that will fix it shortly after. This makes it easier that way they can get part of the product out and just put in a bug fix. (There's a user poll which I'm going to send to MiiCom on which type of player should they use: YouTube, MetaCafe or *their own*)

*their own would take longer to make with perfect functionality but could possibly be worth it more than just a YoutTube player (which may just be used temporarily)
