Vicomsoft has released Internet Gateway 7.0.1 and SurfDoubler 7.0.1, maintenance updates to its software for sharing one Internet connection among multiple computers.

As noted by MacNN, Ed Hamrick has discontinued VueScan for Mac after receiving an e-mail from a manager in Apple’s Developer Relations Group “giving me a hard time about supposedly violating some sort of Non-Disclosure Agreement (which was just nonsense). I’m quite busy trying to add support for the Canon FS-4000, and I don’t have time to waste arguing with Apple. I’ve dropped Mac OS support as a result.” VueScan was a versatile scanning application that supported many scanners and created high-quality scans.

Verbatim today began shipping its new Pocket CD-Rs, which measure just three-inches across and can store up to 185MB. The Pocket CD-Rs function like regular CD-Rs, are certified for 16x burning, and come in five different colors with matching slim cases.

Simon & Schuster Interactive today announced that it has begun shipping Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen for Mac. The 3D action game is based on the Unreal Tournament engine and is available now for US$29.95.

Brother today announced three new flat-bed, monochrome laser, multi-function devices. The MFC-6800, MFC-9700, and MFC-9800 each offer faxing, printing, copying, and color scanning capabilities with a USB interface. The 9700 and 9800 models can also be configured with an optional network adapter. The three models vary primarily with print speeds, and are available for US$499, US$599 and US$799, respectively.
