Mismatched media?

Claremont McKenna College freshman George Posner says he noticed the differences between shopping for music and for iPhone apps right away.

"They do different things," Posner says. Although Posner professes to like the App Store, he says it isn't always his first stop when looking for applications for hisnew phone. That seems strange, considering the App Store is the only place a user can legally download third-party software. But Posner says he relies instead on other sites, such as Facebook, and word-of-mouth from friends to give him suggestions for apps to buy when he visits theApp Store.

"Apple let the App Store get away from them," says Rob Frankel, a Los Angeles-based branding guru. "They did such a great job of building the entire iTunes empire. They thought they could just clone the structure. It doesn't work." Frankel says the store looks and feels like "a bolt on" to the iTunes Music Store, rather than a unique retail outlet selling unique products.

"Music is music and apps are apps," Frankel says. What works for selling the former, he explains, may not work selling the latter. The problem, Frankel argues, is that the App Store isn't doing what theiTunes Music Store did - making the experience of art and technology seamless.

And that's not all.

The 7th Generation of Cucusoft DVD to iPod software has been available.

The version number becomes 7.xx now. There is a big revolution in this new version. Please see the following "what's new".

What's new?

The new version includes 3 running modes, the first one is "Direct Mode", the second one is "Batch Mode" and the last one is "1 Click Mode"

--"Direct Mode" means that user can directly click the DVD Menu to select the movie they want to rip. This mode is very easy for ripping a movie DVD's.

--"Batch Mode" means that user can select the DVD titles/chapters they want to rip via checkbox list. This mode is very easy for batch ripping Music DVD's, MTV DVD's andEpisodic DVD's.

--"1 Click Mode" means that user just clicks 1 click to open a DVD, then the rest task will be done automatically. This mode is designed for dummies. (New)

Cucusoft is the first company that merges these 3 kinds of modes into one software. So our new version 7.xx should be of more value and easier to use.
