Comments on: Developer hopes Apple lightning won't strike twice

After spending more than a year creating new Web page tools, Dan Wood hopes Apple won't release a similar program.

Sorry buddy...

But it looks like iWeb is about to screw you over. Sorry to hear it, there's not much you can do when someone develops the same kind of app that you do.

All I can say is: make yours better than theirs, and don't charge an outrageous price for it.

Wish the best,
Oni

Well...

Yup, it's confirmed. Better start thinking of a new app.

Karelia competition already existed long before iWeb: RapidWeaver, Goldfish

Perhaps Karelia should have done a bit more research before
starting work on SandVox - their competition existed long
before iWeb, in the form of Realmac's RapidWeaver (http://
www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/index.php) and
Fishbeam's Goldfish (http://www.fishbeam.com/en/goldfish/).
Apple probably will have a much farther reach with their iLife '06
than any of these companies, but to imply that Karelia had a
unique product that had to be rushed out because of Apple is a
bit of a strech. Karelia (and Apple) is just one more entrant into
an increasingly crowded product segment.
