This product has been extremely successful — our customer list reads like a who’s who of the Fortune 500 — but it’s been primarily deployed in larger installations.” Wed, 21 May 2008 16:14:17 GMT

All your workouts are belong to Nikeplus Chuqui 3.0: “Here’s one very common scenario for why something like ‘remove your personal data from the Nike site’ isn’t in release 1.0: the deadline for shipping the product is July 10, say.

All I Ever Needed To Know About Developing For Windows, I Learned From Rogue Amoeba Rogue Amoeba: “Just under a month ago we released our very first Windows product, Airfoil for Windows, and it’s doing well. We received a lot of interest relating to our decision to develop for Windows, ranging from a desire to hear our thoughts on developing to questions on sales numbers and comparisons between the Mac and Windows worlds. In this article, I’ll be speaking about the marketing and sales end of the experience of expanding from the Mac to Windows.” Thu, 08 Jun 2006 23:18:49 GMT

NewsGator for Windows Mobile Beta NewsGator Daily: “A little less than three months ago, we announced a couple of new mobile RSS readers that were in the works. One of them was a reader for Windows Mobile devices called SmartRead, which was under development by Kevin Cawley. Now christened NewsGator for Windows Mobile Devices, the product has entered public beta, and is available for download.” Mac users using Windows mobile? Isn’t that treason? ;) Well, no—there is at least one Mac user who does, especially given that there is, sadly, no OS X mobile. (How I wish.) So, if you’re one of those folks, and you’re interested in syncing your feeds with your phone, and you’d like to help test, please do get in on the beta. P.S. A J2ME reader is in the works too, for folks who use Blackberry, Palm OS Treo, and similar. Thu, 08 Jun 2006 22:56:10 GMT

Pricing clarification This is just to clear up some confusion about pricing that people have... NetNewsWire 2.0 (in beta at the time of this writing) is $24.95. Once it ships, it will still be $24.95—this is its normal price. MarsEdit is a separate product: it also costs $24.95. You can buy NetNewsWire and MarsEdit together for $39.95, which saves about $10. To be clear: NetNewsWire 2.0..............$24.95 MarsEdit 1.0.................$24.95 NetNewsWire/MarsEdit bundle..$39.95 (NetNewsWire 1.0.8, which is still for sale for now, costs $39.95. I think that’s where the confusion comes from. The older version of NetNewsWire costs more because it includes a weblog editor as well as the aggregator.) If you have any questions about pricing, please send email to info@ranchero.com. Tue, 29 Mar 2005 17:37:20 GMT
