iTheater RC1 to drop on January 31

If you've been waiting for the release of iTheater as eagerly as we have, you may have been expecting to be able to download the project yesterday. Alas, it was not meant to be.

For the uninitiated, iTheater is an open source, home theatre media center project intended to make browsing your computer's media easy and fun. The development team intended to offer their initial release yesterday, but when the time came they felt that it just wasn't ready, and opted for a period of internal beta testing instead. Get the full low-down on their decision here. They do promise, however, that RC1 will absolutely, positively be made available on January 31.

To the development team: We understand your frustration, and we're glad that you're taking the time to ensure your project's readiness. Good luck in your beta testing, and we'll see you in three weeks.
