Joost for Mac

I have been trying to get an invitation for Joost for a while and finally got one recently. I got the latest beta version for the mac. But sadly I can't install and check out as yet because it only runs on the intel macs. And that's not the mac that I use right now.

I planned on getting my MacBook Pro, but not for a couple more months because I am waiting for Apple to release their new OS first. So now I am a bit torn.

For those of you who have not heard about Joost. It started off as The Venice Project by the guys behind Skype and Paypal. It's the latest technology that merges tv and the internet. It allows people to view television right on their computers and it looks really good with transparencies making the whole interface look really good. I've lately started hearing more about Joost in the media so expect it to be a big thing. It allows the viewers to rate the shows that they are watching and also to send messages back and forth to other users. These are just two of the many features that Joost has. The new mac version, comes with functionality that allows users to use the Apple Remote to control the player. That's a great thing.

I recently heard about a hack for the new Apple Tv that allows users to watch streaming tv through the Apple TV. This is great because Joost can be streamed from the computer onto the television screen. There's lots of potential with this software.

But I may get my mac sooner rather than later so I could test this out.
