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.
