I had to upgrade to compile for Intel. Ditto for Leopard. And ditto for Cocoa later this year. TCO for RB is turning out to be a little hefty... (Version R2) | |

GREGORGY It works but, unlike it's PC compatriot, it does not print and this is serious. It would be really nice to print directions / routes. I am glad I switched from SD-based to Mac-based navigation but I would really like to be able to do something with the data other than upload it to my GPS, especially considering that plotted routes do not work on any except the top of the range units. Please, please, add printing or other means to extract the directions and maps (other than screen snapshots!) (Version 2.0.1) | |

GREGORGY The rest of my comment disappeared at the less than sign so here it is, without entities directly included: I can't quite review this just yet but I will say, for the price, there isn't anything to drag me away from BBEdit. I understand it is still in beta but when I open a page that is PHP and HTML, it sees the PHP opening statement as an error (the lessthan then questionmark then php) because of the less than sign. Also, BBEdit's tools are far more extensive. I know this is just for web development but things like translate and image and anchor are all really cool tools in BBEdit, which I cannot find in Espresso. Let's see how she grows up - after all, this is from the maker of CSSEdit which is simply fantastic and indispensable to me. (Version 1.0b2) | |

GREGORGY Another major upgrade - another screwjob from Roxio - still no REAL upgrade price. Living in South Africa, I gotta pay $100 for a new version - and I get to put my old ones on the coaster heap! I stopped upgrading Toast after v5 (first Roxio version - Adaptec and Asante were affordable and REALISTICALLY upgradeable). Thanks to another post here, I have been using LiquidCD for a while and since BluRay has not yet really arrived, I don't need Toast! And I am sure someone else will bring a cheaper competitor anyways. (Version 9) | |

My firewire BetaMax VCR has been gathering dust forever! (BTW, it doesn't say anything about the HD-DVD support on Roxio's Toast 9 site, just in the 9.0.1 "What's New" section they put out for this page. Darn it -- it seemed like such a great idea.)

ILGAZ IMHO as a Developer, you should think if it is only Realbasic forced you to upgrade to Intel and Leopard and make your own mind about it. Even users (not developers) of certain products had to upgrade to Leopard for running the latest version of application. E.g. if Developer choose Objective C 2 instead of version 1, there is no way to support Tiger. I personally use some of these apps and I don't put blame on them. (Version R2) | |

Nokia Multimedia Transfer | Sep 11 2007 |
GUILLAUMEK As i said, unconstructive criticism ^^ However, i am not sure you'll want to use this app for caller pictures. You would be much better off editing them in Address Book. All NMT can do for you concerning caller pictures is import iPhoto pictures, which you then have to set inside your E60 where i believe you don't have zoom/pan controls (correct me if i'm wrong). NMT may not be the best choice for caller picture. As for ring tones, i guess it's a matter of personnal preference. Unless you frequently change your ringtones, Bluetooth File Exchange works fine. It does not take more than two clicks with "Send file to BT device" shift-command-B shortkey. I believe NMT wasn't made for your kind of device in the first place. Plus the soft is still beta. This obviously does not mean its support should not be considered but you can't blame Nokia for not making this a priority. Hope you found less smarty-pants and more education in that comment, edit: i see E60 support at http://europe.nokia.com/A4423135 ... (Version 1.1.1) | |

Some places only have their CIs in FreeHand EPSes. AI does a terrible job of these. AI's handling of SVG sucks. Then, I discovered Intaglio.

Amadeus and Cocktail finish of the value pack for me at least without the unlocks. I am sure the other apps also have value for those whose interests lie in podcasts and auctions.

TrailRunner | Jan 20 2007 |
GREGORGY First off, it aint free - it's donationware. And the donation is fixed at €21 (just less than $30). That said, the value cannot be beat. I live in Africa and wanted a GPS route mapper that I could plot onto the areas that I occasionally explore (safari, hunting, biking, hiking). Other apps promise this but demos did not deliver or no demos were available. After much fiddling to figure the UI out, I managed to plot several routes on my own maps. Bingo - just what I wanted. Its uses are not restricted to exercise fanatics at all. I figured that once I'd got all my favourite routes loaded and plotted and it was working, I'd register. It took me a week. Worth every cent. I strongly recommend this app for folks who do similar things and want a simple, affordable tracking and routing solution that can use custom routes and maps. Bar a few bug fixes (auto-routing crashes, not that I use this feature) TrailRunner works as advertised. Nic work - Recommended! (Version 1.3v131) | |
