Xmydia, again?

Hi Folks, as the winter draws near it looks like time to a revise Xmydia. After working on the Interface, and picking up some new toys its time to draw it all together.

first off, the ps3 continues to evolve but we're still stuck with the Opera browser. New netflix, photo app, etc, etc.. but, still the same crappy browser. I was hoping sony would fix this by now. One of the main problems to over come is the ram limitation as well as the craptastic browser.

If you did get xmydia running, you would eventially encounter the out of memory error.  nothing to do but a refresh. now im not going to stop development on the user interface portion, I still like the idea of the thumbs, however the animation is probably pushing it. I have to admit thought Xmydia ver 1 was very buggy, but hey what do you expect for free.

Whats changed at my end, well i picked up a Iphone and Ipad, pretty good devices in their own right, but I think they can do more...

So in closing, heres the skinny, Im looking to tighten the code even further, the scrapping at least, and streamline the interface to reduce memory usage. Also I like my Ipad/iphone, so I want to throw that into the mix. below is a video experement of ipad to ps3 interface. basic idea is to have the Ipad act like the menu and the ps3 serve the main course. Enjoy..... oh and sorry about the side ways video, stupid iphone.

****p.s. one more thing, the links for download arent working, I would recommend holding off anyways untill the new build is complete, as im planning a revamp inside out.....stay tuned...
