Thanks for the good humor over 3D pong. I still think it's pretty special. I can't see it without at least grinning a little. That's good.
We were hoping that build 100 would be The One. It isn't. We'll go on several more days until we have one that just feels right. Then we'll stamp "Release" on its forehead, kiss it good-bye, and send it off on the big yellow bus.
There is a Big Deal thing coming. The timing is uncertain but it will happen this spring. There are others in the pipeline. I can't tell you any details because we're sworn to secrecy.
These will probably involve music or media stores inside MC. The exact offerings will be up to our clients, but we've tooled up to add stores quickly and easily.
Whether you use them is your business. Some people may like them. Some may not. I believe it's the future of media. Most of you understand that.
At this time, we don't expect to offer our own music store. The stores will be offered by big companies who want to go toe to toe with Apple and others. This race will probably last several years, and several companies will probably expire in the process.
We plan to go on making a great player/organizer and letting others use it as they see fit. The new friendships we've made will definitely help us do that.
Thanks again for the fun.
