It’s long been rumored that Adobe is attempting to drop Frame in favor of InDesign on all of its platforms, but there are some pretty big obstacles in the way of this happening.

How many publishing houses do you know that don’t have at least some Macs? One of the greatest things about Frame is that it worked well across platforms (MS-Windows and UNIX in addition to Mac OS) as people on different platforms could easily share documents. FrameMaker has always been a niche app, but it dominates that niche. FrameMaker is heavily used in the world of publishing as it’s (bar none) the best application for long document generation.

Adobe had promised to release a Mac OS X native version of each of its “flagship” apps as each went through its next major release cycle, but FrameMaker 7.0 came and went without a Mac OS X native version, and FrameMaker 7.1 was never even released for the Mac.

That there was “little demand for Mac FrameMaker over the past couple years” (Adobe’s quote), but it should be noted that in that timeframe Adobe didn’t release a current version of Frame for the current version of Mac OS. Why on earth would a business continue developing a product with little customer demand? Also, if I understand it correctly, Framemaker is being phased out in favour of InDesign and new products possibily in the future.” “And the conspiracy theorists united! please, Adobe dropped Framemaker because there was little demand for the product. As a long-time FrameMaker user on multiple platforms, I’ll respond to a couple: There seem to be some misconceptions about FrameMaker. The unfortunate side-effect is that 74 minutes of music takes up quite a bit of space compared to most of the other formats the iPod supports.
I’m surprise that the iPod supports WAV, I have yet to meet a person that uses that audio format!ĭon’t tell anyone, but CDs use a format that can be converted to wav format without compression, thereby making a copy of a song basically loss-less. That’s the way codecs are supposed to work in the first place, they’re unobtrusive and simple, unless you don’t have the one you need. You mean 1 or 2 more formats on a unit that already supports 6 (by your own claims) is going to make a mess? Most people won’t notice what formats it uses unless they try to use it with a format that’s unsupported. Opening it up will probably increase market share, but will just make the unit more cluttered with worthless formats that half the people even use! If Apple wants to open it up to a larger market then so be it, but right now they have the power to keep the quality good by keeping it close to specifics. The reason they don’t use those formats is pretty obvious: they lack DRM, and the RIAA isn’t likely to let them sell music without DRM. The issue is primarily that other music stores don’t use those formats, but they do use WMA. If it were limited to RealPlayer, I’d definitely see a problem, and have a harder time understanding it’s popularity. I think Apple may have a real problem on their hands if iPod continues to gain in market share, but for now they’re perfectly fine sticking with iTunes. Besides, the EC just awarded a huge fine against Microsoft as well as some other items Microsoft will have to address to continue in the European market, thanks to complaints from Real & Co. ITunes and QuickTime are direct competitors with RealNetworks’ products, there’s no reason for him to ignore Apple just because he also has to compete with Microsoft (and MS’ music store hasn’t launched yet, and isn’t tied to a Microsoft-built hardware product). Opening it up will probably increase market share, but will just make the unit more cluttered with worthless formats that half the people even use! I’m surprise that the iPod supports WAV, I have yet to meet a person that uses that audio format!

Plus people are already starting to create third party applications so that the iPod will work with other audio players like WinAMP and products like that.

That touches the main ones, MP3 being the biggest! Who the heck cares about Windows Media Player format. IPod supports a healthy amount of audio support AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 (32 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible, AIFF and WAV. They created this new outlet for music and they’re rolling with it. The iPod is fine just how it is, why should they open it up to other music stores. These comments are just out of this world! CEO from RealNetworks just needs to shut his mouth and worry about his product! Keep your eyes on the important issue, Windows Media Player – not Apple iTunes!
