As of a couple of days ago, my internet provider
XS4ALL appears to give away
PCZapper Pro to all it's users. A little bit too late for me, but what the hack...
On PCZapper, quite some things have changed also. It doesn't display on pczapper.tv yet, but changes are eminent, if you look at
pczapper.nl, you see a new range of products is added, and the old hardware parts are left behind. A new grey control box, new remotes (no 'sleek design remotes', regretably) and a full range of products.
Look on pczapper.nl for the product-changes.
It seems as if the zappers have been working their secret mission since taking over the bankrupt HomeLinc inventory to come to a newly defined product. The new line goes well with the free, payed pc and full versions. Hopefully, we get more insights into tweaking now the coprporate strategy is rolled out. Let's hope PCZapper remains heading towards an open platform, giving out manuals and insights as PalmButler used to do and better, where everybody can change looks and content in a breeze.
Let's now head to quality tweaking tools, WiFi connection for the tv, and stuff like a PPC and a Phone version, preferably with a content management system that stores your favorites centrally, so you can enjoy what you want in any place, anytime. Am I going too fast? Just say so... I only hope I'm not going fast enough.
update: pczapper is no longer given away by XS4ALL.
