Stealing the show
Posted by Sandy
An unauthorized download of Apple's new Front Row software is floating around out there. Although Front Row is available only with new iMacs, the software is not copy-protected, and copies have been made.
Some users have been able to add Front Row to other Macs without any trouble, but others have experienced problems on non-iMacs after installing.
Beware. Remember that the new iMac G5 with Front Row ships with an updated version of OS X. Macs users with previous system software may experience problems with some or all of Front Row.
Still, it's encouraging to hear (and see) that Front Row can run on a Mac mini. I hope Apple will make Front Row available for other consumer machines soon.

Have it working on my Mac mini hooked up to a 37" LCD TV. Stunning. The only hitch is that the Apple movie trailer site is a little slow in streaming and Front Row doesn't buffer well. But oonce downloaded, the trailers look spectacular. DVDs also work (with the new version of DVD player). iTunes video quality isn't great but that's because they're 320x240 (on a 1024-768 screen...). It all works using Salling Clicker via a BlueTooth cell phone. Apple would be nuts not to release this as part of iLife 06. I'd buy it in a second.
(mini is 1.25 GHz, with 512 Mb RAM)
