Mactracker + iPhone/iPod touch

By popular request, I am going to be releasing a version of Mactracker for iPhone and iPod touch alongside the next release of Mactracker for Mac OS X.

It will be available as a web app to start though that may change once Apple releases their SDK in February 2008.

Mactracker + Leopard

Just a quick note with regards to Mactracker's Leopard compatibility. Version 4.3.1 works just fine under Leopard. If you do run into any issues don't hesitate to drop me an email.

Mactracker 4.3.1 for Windows

This release adds the latest Apple hardware and with the exception of "My Mac models", it brings the Windows release to feature parity with the Mac. Version 4.3.1 also fixes a number of issues including one where Mactracker would fail to launch on certain localized versions of Windows and a text display problem that occured on Windows XP or Vista.
