Now that Heather has let the cat out of the bag (so to speak), I'll add a little follow up announcement for a product that's been in the works for a few months: Harlequin. Harlequin is a skinnable software remote control application for Apple's iTunes. This is similar in concept to an iTunes widget running under Dashboard but Harlequin is intended to be a bit more extensible and customizable as a standalone accessory for iTunes. Those who know their way around Photoshop or other image editor can design their own control images, place them in a bundle along with a layout description, and Harlequin will dynamically assemble a functioning masque (skin) on-the-fly that controls almost all of iTunes' playback functions. Harlequin is one of the first Revolution apps in development to take advantage of the new deep masks feature. For those of you attending RevConWest, I'm going to demo Harlequin as part of my presentation, alongside many other expert Rev developers. I believe there's still time to sign up (Dan? Chipp?) -- interested folks should head over to http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit/RevConWest/. For those who aren't attending RevCon (and for anyone who wants to play), you can download an alpha version of Harlequin here (OSX only): http://www.tactilemedia.com/harlequin/Harlequin_a1.dmg.gz If you are at all interested in masquing (skinning) I encourage you to join the related forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harlequin-dev See the Welcome post in the Messages area for more detailed info about the alpha (please note that as an alpha, Harlequin is incomplete in some areas). And now back to the Revolution.
