As the iPad becomes available in the US within less then a week, it's time we introduce our latest creation: Movies HD.

Just like our iPhone app Movies, Movies HD is a movie catalog application which allows to quickly catalog your complete movie collection. It allows to import from various popular desktop apps (like Delicious Library, Collectorz Movie Collector, Ant Movie Collection, Movie Label 2011, ...) or allows to create your library on-the-fly (using various data sources which allow to enter movies by barcode number or movie title).

Movies HD shows your movie collection in a graphically stunning way, giving you the ultimate iPad experience!

As the iPad is about to be released within a month, we are working very hard on 2 iPad apps which we plan to release just before the iPad launch.

One of them is Movies - our flagship app which is already available on the iPhone. As the iPad offers a whoppy 1024 by 768 pixels screen, this allows us to add lots of detail into the already gorgeous screens of the Movies app. Below you'll some screenshots of the early development stage of "Movies for iPad".

Movies for iPad - Movie details

If you want to suggest a feature, or comment on the interface: speak freely!

As of today, Movies supports moviemeter.nl as a data source.

Movies is designed to fetch movie details from a datasource which can be chosen by you at runtime. In Movies, just go to the [Settings] tab, and tap on [Data Source]. A list of data sources will be shown, and depending on the one you choose, different movie information is returned (if you live in the Netherlands, you might prefer moviemeter.nl, as they return a dutch plot for a movie).

From time to time, we add new data sources (or update existing ones in case additional fields are made public), and today we added moviemeter.nl as a data source for dutch users.

If you want your site to be added as a data source, feel free to contact us (and provide us with a nice API to fetch the movie details).

Our latest creation - Print Manager - is sent to Apple for review. It's an app which allows to connect to a printing plant and watch the status of the jobs being run on the system.

Features

• Monitor job status
• Check detailed job information
• Get plate status and preview!
• Fully JMF/JDF compliant

After working for quite some time on the new Movies release, w're pleased Apple has pushed the approval process to its limits and approved Movies in less then 8 hours after initial submission - thank you Apple!

Movies 2 contains a lot of cool new features:

• Fullscreen CoverFlow (improved performance, new detailview)
• Improved barcode engine (live scanner)
• Filter tab to filter on media type, lend-to and genre
• Multiple data sources (including UK, Germany, Japan, ...)
• Cover-on-the-web - to seek for covert art through Google Images
• Classic black and classic white themes
• Option to clear whole database (prior to e.g. restoring)

As you can see, the list is quite long - and we have more features planned for next updates (TeaserView being one of the big ones). If you have suggestions too, you're always welcome to share them with us (either by adding a comment to this post, writing something in our support forum or mailing us).

We just added a conversion script to convert the movie exports from MBase2 and Personal Video Database (PVD) into the Movies format. This allows you to easily import "backups" from MBase2 and PVD into Movies - without the need to type in anything!

We already had support for ANT, Extreme Movie Manager and DVD Profiler. We added a small tutorial in order to help you with the conversion process.

In the meantime, we are also working very hard on Movies 2 which we plan to finalize at the end of this week. We recently added a "web cover search" option, which allows to lookup covers on the web within Movies and use those instead of the ones provided by our data source.

So hold your breath a few more days, and start your download engines as soon as Movies 2 hits the App Store!

Babe-A-Loola - our latest iPhone app - finally hits the App Store. It took over 3 months for Apple to approve, but now it's live and there to stay!

Babe-A-Loola offers daily new high resolution images from celebrities, models and other gorgeous babes. Babe-A-Loola comes with a preloaded set of over 100 high resolution images of celebrities, and you can fetch a daily gallery of a new celebrity.

So in order to start 2010 with a bang, go grab your copy today!

Merry christmas and best wishes for 2010!

We have set our internal deadline for releasing Movies 2 to Apple at the end of 2009 - so we're working hard on making sure we make the deadline.

In the meantime, we want to keep you informed on our progress, and the first issue we tackled was the not-so-fast CoverFlow(tm) in Movies 1. Below you find a screenshot of the new CoverFlow(tm) in action - fullscreen, bloody fast.

Stay tuned for more sneak previews of new Movie features becoming available in 2.0!
