April 16, 2007 - ZappTek is pleased to announce the release of iPresent It version 1.5 ($17.95 USD -- a free update for current users), available for immediate download at (http://www.zapptek.com/ipresent-it/). This version adds support for the Apple TV by automatically detecting your presentation's resolution and ensuring that it is formatted correctly for display in standard or widescreen format. It also improves the resolution of standard presentations. How do I give a presentation with my Apple TV? The Apple TV allows you to sync photos from your computer via iTunes -- it's very similar to working with an iPod. The main limitation is that you can only connect to a display using component video or HDMI. This is restrictive in that most projectors don't support either of these connection options. You can, however, get an HDMI-to-DVI cable -- this lets you connect to any monitor or projector with a DVI input. But is it worthwhile? The image quality is excellent for showing slides (...

Apple today released the following statement: iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can't wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is. However, iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price -- we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS(R) X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well...
