Title: iStock have done it again - new annoucement!
Post by: CJPhoto on September 26, 2006, 02:58
I will let someone else post about how wonderful it is that Appeture now has an iStock plugin for uploading (free).

However, the first anybody knew about it was when Apple release the product, then someone posted on the iStock forum and asked what exactly this new iStock plugin does.  Haven't they heard about doing prereleases at the same time! (ie. joint prereleases)  Especially after being told off by almost everyone for implementing something new without consulatation, they do something again and dont even let the photags know even though it has been released to market by Apple.

They are lucky this is a positive thing though lots of people will be asking where is the PC version?

Good point.  They do have a tendacy to make deals behind the scenes.  Then, we all find out about it later.

Dont so much mind the deals behind the scene but we whould at least here it from them once it becomes public.  They shouldn't have to reply to a forum post to explain what has happened.

Exactly.  They have admins...why aren't they reporting this first?
