Griffin releases Proxi beta
Earlier today, Griffin technology released a public beta of Proxi, their latest piece of software for Mac OS X. By using "triggers" and "tasks," Proxi will let you automate complicated routines, much like Automator or QuicKeys. There are included triggers for many of Griffin's products, of course, like the PowerMate, AirClick and AirShark, but Proxi doesn't limit you to Griffin hardware; iTunes, iChat, Mail, Skype and more are all fodder for Proxi.You can share "blueprints" (think "workflows") that you've created with other users. Check out the Proxi wiki for more information on that. I've only played around with the beta briefly, but it looks like fun. It's simple enough to allow non-programmers to create satisfying and useful routines.The final version will be out in May, and will be free. No specific system requirements were given.
iLounge reviews the AirClick
Our iPod obsessed friends over at iLounge have taken the latest iteration of Griffin's AirClick, a remote control for iPods with a dock connector, for a spin and they don't like it as much as the original version.Since the AirClick has to attach to the dock connector you can no longer have the AirClick attached and dock your iPod in a dock or dockable speaker system. This limits the usefulness of the remote. iLounge wasn't too thrilled with the new look of the product either, but the functionality was as good as ever.
