Share The Tube in iChat Theater

Administrator — Wed, 14 May 2008 01:15:54 +0000

Just imagine, you’re watching TV while chatting with a friend and all of a sudden something crazy is about to go down on Top Model… Just invite your friend to a video chat, drag The Tube’s application icon into the iChat window and show your buddy exactly what’s going down. If you want to TimeShift and rewind the live feed to show them the whole thing, just do it. Whatever appears in The Tube will appear in your iChat theater.

This is just one example of The Tube’s new PlaceShift feature. And to be honest, it has been one of the most fun features to test… just ask our lead graphics designer Kay ;).

If you are interested in this novel feature, have a look at our TubeStick PlaceShift page. The Tube supports both our TubeStick andTubeStick hybrid devices.

iSale parle français et s´améliore.

Administrator — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:13:24 +0000

Utilisateurs de Mac, attention : iSale a fait beaucoup de progrès en français et le parle désormais couramment.

Nous souhaitons remercier toute la communauté française iSale qui nous a grandement aidés lors de ce processus de traduction.

Parce qu´iSale 5 fonctionne exclusivement avec Mac OS X 10.5, les utilisateurs de Tiger seront certainement ravis d´apprendre que nous avons effectué quelques opérations de maintenance : depuis peu, iSale 4.4.2 résout un problème qui pourrait faire bugger l´application lors de la mise aux enchères. Il n´y a donc aucune raison pour que vous n´alliez pas sur get the update afin de vous procurez la mise à jour.

Les deux mises à jour sont gratuites pour tous les utilisateurs déjà enregistrés. Profitez de toutes les nouvelles caractéristiques d´iSale… dans votre langue maternelle!
