Gustavo Eydelsteyn Four Product Releases Just Around the Corner
Gustavo Eydelsteyn, Co-founder

This month we will be releasing to general availability Studio for iPhone and SharePoint Web Parts. The Studio for iPhone suite contains ASP.NET controls that mimic the look and feel of the iPhone. Organizations can benefit using the familiar ASP.NET Framework and deliver Web apps with a fresh look that target iPhone users.

The Web Parts allow IT professionals to extend and customize their SharePoint installations. Our Web Parts are unique in that they are ready out-of-the-box and are easily customizable by the end-user.

If you haven't done so already, get a head start by previewing the new products today at www.componentone.com. Along with providing you with the tools you need, we also want to be your resource partner. You are always invited to take advantage of the free Webcasts offered for many of our products. View the Webcast calendar. These will give you an overview of the product, a chance to interact with product experts along with others, just like you.

And next month we will be updating LiveLinq and XapOptimizer from their current Community Technology Preview states to release. You can try XapOptimizer (while in CTP) at no charge online at labs.componentone.com. The online tool allows you to upload your Silverlight files, and an "optimized" version with a reduced file size will be emailed to you with almost no wait time.

You have the advantage with ComponentOne; we can ensure your success by providing tools that meet your ever-changing business requirements.
