Rogue Amoeba has released Radioshift 1.5
(http://www.rogueamoeba.com/radioshift/), an update of the Internet
radio player and recorder. The new version brings support for
thousands of web streams previously only available via web players.

Hundreds of new streams in Windows Media Pro and QuickTime streaming
formats are now supported. Streaming reliability has also been
improved, and Radioshift will now restart streams when they err —
and use back-up streams where available as well.

Axiotron has announced a 2010 kickoff promotion for its Mac tablet,
the Modbook (http://www.axiotron.com/modbook). Under the promotion,
customers can convert their MacBook base systems into a Modbook for
US$699 (regularly $899) or get a Modbook based on a
new dealer-supplied 2.13GHz MacBook base system for $1,649 (regularly
$1,849).

The promotion, which extends a holiday discount initiated in
November, runs through March 1, 2010.

Zevrix Solutions (http://www.zevrix.com) has updated ArtOptimizer,
its workflow automation solution for Adobe Illustrator, to version
2.3.1. The new version addresses a critical issue that could prevent
ArtOptimizer from processing files on certain systems.

ArtOptimizer eliminates the excess image data of document links and
performs image adjustments, reducing the size of an Illustrator job.
