As you know I have been offering readers of the blog the opportunity to buy ImageWell for $14.95 (CAD) a saving of $5 (CAD). I am therefore really happy to be able to offer ShutterBug as well, with a pretty impressive 25% off with coupon code CMRSB. You will pay $29.95 (CAD) a saving of $10 (CAD) over the full price of $39.95 (CAD).

You wil no doubt have noticed the new ImageWell banner on the top of the page. Prior to that I had a (very) small banner in the sidebar with the promotional offer for readers of this site.

Flash Decompiler Trillix for Mac 3.1 ($79.95) is now out of beta and while it isn’t something that I have any personal need for, I have a feeling that a number of you may be interested in and so I decided that rather than review it which to be frank would be a bit of a waste of a good license, and in all probability wouldn’t be that in depth as I am no expert I have decided that I will write up the product and offer the license to readers of the site.

Gary pointed this out to me as something that you may be interested in: For an unspecified limited time, DivX is giving away free serial numbers to their DivX Pro software, which makes it possible to create DivX-encoded videos on the Mac (a Windows version is also available). DivX is a compressed digital media format for video, much as MP3 and AAC are compressed digital media formats for audio. Read all about it on Wikipedia if you’re interested in the gory details.

I know that you all like a good deal when you see one, especially when it comes to (heavily) discounted Mac application, so this may be of interest to you. The really interesting ‘twist’ on this initiative is that they are having all the applications and games devloped specifically for this promotion.

At least you know that you wont already have them, although I think you will have to accept a few early release issues along the way.

Thanks to Gary for the suggestion that I take a look at a couple of the promotions that are around at the moment.

Give Good Food 2 Your Mac

I think this wins first prize for the creativity of the web site which is laid out, as you would guess from the title, as a combination kitchen and recipe book.

They have a pretty good range of applications in the mix, and offer the following discounts:

• 30% on 3 applications
• 40% on 5 applications

I previewed BitClamp a short while ago, but let me just remind you that it has been developed by regular reader Daniel Greg and the site (CrimsonSkySoftware) was designed and developed by regular reader Tom Hancocks, so it is an application that is close to my heart – well that may be stretching it a little. It is a very cool application and I like Danny and Tom a lot! Oh yes, I wrote the copy for the web site as well and have been doing some beta testing of version 1.1.

I have just recieved this from ImageWell:

we just increased the price of ImageWell Xtras to $19.95, this morning. Also, it is now in Canadian dollars (CAD) and no longer sold in USD.

As a number of people have taken advantage of the discount offered to readers of the site with code CMRIW I am going to keep it running, so you can get it for $14.95 CAD a saving of $5 CAD

As November 9th looms closer and closer for those in the UK (well actually it is getting closer for all of us of course), and iPhone UK Day fever is no doubt mounting I thought I would share this with you:

“On the day of the UK launch (November 9th), if you purchase an iPhone from anywhere in the UK, simply email a copy of your receipt to iphone@gear4.com and the first 100 will receive an iPhone iVak case for FREE!
