MONTGOMERY, Alabama (March 22, 2005) - LAJ Design is pleased to announced
the immediate availability of version 1.0.1 of MaxPod. MaxPod is a
cross-platform application that helps you to maximize what your iPod can do.
"The iPod gives a great platform for music listening, but it can do so many
other functions", says Luke Jackson, head programmer at LAJ Design. "With
MaxPod, we are trying to automate as much of that functionality as possible.
Right now it can sync files between your hard drive and iPod. It can
download the news and weather into audio files that you can listen to on
your iPod. It can organize your notes, your music, and get directions. I use
it every day. I just set the auto mode to 5:50 AM and by the time I am ready
to go, it has backed up and synced my files, downloaded the news and
weather, which I listen to on the way to work."
New in Version 1.0.1
-------
* Added in version checking so you can stay up to date
* Changed to delete from iTunes before copying the new daily files over.
* Support for voices options from Cepstral
For the full list, please see the new section on our website.
