Re: Central app for MAX - useless? [OT]
The Central shell is intended to go to pocket devices eventually, but not this first version... the plan is to prove it first in the Mac/Win audience, incorporate early feedback for shaping, and after that hit Linux, PDAs, phones, TVs, etc. Cool! I think the PDA is going to be the best target platform for Central. Can you talk more about the TV plans? I used to do a lot of ITV development, but I'm not sure how Central meshes with the needs of that market. (I still have last year's paper conference guide, and it's about two laptops thick... can't read Google News on it either ;-) Yep. I've got mine too from two years back. Kinda like lugging a laptop around ;-) A localized Central server option. For distribution, you don't have to go through the Macromedia navigation/transaction engine if you don't wish. Keep an eye out for more news on business models next week. I'll be doing just that. I like RIAs, and the concept of Central is intriguing but I'm just having trouble seeing it working for the desktop market. -Kevin [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
