ALA was a great show. Met with librarians, publishers and resellers and sent a bunch of players out to libraries to review. Now, we're doing some final tinkering before we begin to ship players this Friday for those people that pre-ordered it.
I've noticed a certain rhythm to my posts. Mostly that I'm talking a lot about shows that we're preparing for and showing in. I want to do some posts that go into more detail on how we're developing downloads, hardware, software, new titles and such. I promise I'll get to it next week. But (of course) now we're prepping for O'Reilly's "Tools Of Change For Publishers in New York from Feb 11-13. We'll be showing off some new download and playback features and make a few announcements as well.
As a card carrying blogger, I've got to at least mention Steve Job's keynote and Macworld. I think the video rental program that he's announced is a game changer (not that Jupiter Research agrees) for the movie industry, mostly because he's pulled in enough content and is offering rentals at an attractive enough price that it should take off.
