If it’s any consolation, I agree with you. Obviously as a Mac-only user, I’m as bummed as you that I can’t even try out the app that I designed!

I originally advocated for creating this as a Dashboard Widget of sorts but since the SoundFlavor guys are PC-based, I guess their native turf won out in priority.

I’ll see if I can get an ETA on the Mac version, though I agree that “coming soon” oftentimes never does.

Well, I’m really intrigued. I just hope you remember to announce the mac version of this if it ever comes out. (I’m a tad jaded regarding multi-platform offerings).

Just an opinion on the matter not a flick of your ear, I just wish that developers would announce their product for their platform when its ready to ship. If the product isn’t ready for a platform then don’t even mention the possibility of it being out on that platform.

I think this makes sense market-wise as well. I’m all kinds of psyched about this new program but I can’t run it so I’m not gonna bother talking about it on my own site (not a big deal). But, I see this happen a lot. A blog will mention some program, I’ll go check it out, learn that ‘the mac version is coming soon’ and never return to that site unless someone else remembers to go for me and then tells me all about it 6 months later.

I hope this comes across the way I intended and not in the ‘damn crotchety mac people on saturday mornings’ way.
