New App, doubleTwist, Like iTunes For All Your Gadgets, Sites!
Feb 24th, 2009 | By James Lewin | Category: Internet TV, Podcast Distribution, Video, Video SoftwareStartup company doubleTwist today launched a public beta of a new universal media application for the Mac that’s like iTunes for everything.
doubleTwist’s goal for the product is to be “a single, streamlined interface that connects to any device, media source or network.” In other words, they want to make moving your media around, from your computer, to websites, to gadgets, a complete no-brainer.
