At Adobe MAX, General Session Keynote about to start…

Some new surprises coming soon in Platinum land…

Platinum update has been pushed with many enhancements including:

- better eventing (now with moderation)
- support for HTTP keep-alive client connections
- XBox 360 compatibility (see previous post)!
- better support for dynamic addition/removal of devices
- much more…

You can find it at the usual place.

Over the last few months, I have found a bit of time to work back on Platinum. One of the things I have always wanted to add was XBox360 support. The XBox is somewhat UPnP aware but does things not according to the standard so it needed a bit of hacking. One of the thing I have been missing recently is working on XBMC so I have decided to make time and jump back into the project. The result is that XBMC is now seen by the XBox 360 and can be used as a Video & Music server. (Photos are not supported yet)

Check out the release that supports it if you’re interested.

I have been waiting patiently for some updates on the iphone hacking side of things and it looks promising even though it’s getting completely confusing.

To stay on the safe side of things, I’ll just link to the non for-profit iphone-dev team stuff (now called iPhone “Elite” Team):
- Jailbreak tiff exploit: here
- Downgrade baseband (so you can use the phone feature again with non AT&T providers): here

Still not a complete solution but we’re close. Check back here in a few days.

Of course, the ipod touch is getting some love too.
