This site has been set up to track the progress of our streams Iphone application and our StreamPad Ipad application.
Beta Users Please see the beta download section
StreamPad will be available soon
Streams will be available for the iphone 3g and 3gs this summer.
Special Welcome to our Playon Beta Testers
The beta test program will begin in a few days. There was a short delay due to the release of the ipad and the beta Release of SDK 4.0.
StreamPad will be released with OS 3.2 , a 4.0 version will be released as soon as reasonable after the sdk release this fall.
Streams will be released with OS 3.1.3 and a 4.0 version as soon as possible.
This is an exciting new phase in our development cycle and we are glad to have you be a part of it.
Over the next week we will be consolidating information from other blogs and posts to this site, please familiarize yourself with these documents.
Happy Testing!
Special Note on OS 4.0 license term 3.3.2 change.
Both streams and streamPad incorporate an internal mpeg2 decoder that uses a small portion of SDL code. Sdl has been mentioned recently because it has been at times described as middleware which could be covered under the ban.
However the general consensus is that SDL is written in and compiles to native c and c++ code so should not be affected. The changes seem to relate more to cross-compilers that translate foreign code (java, python, c#) to objects. The target appears to be adobe Flash and monotouch.
If SDL is found to be affected by the changes we have estimated that the coding effort to convert to pure open gl code is about an additional month which would delay the application release by a comparable time frame. Since only a small portion of the code base is affected we have not decided if the beta would continue.
