Adobe rolled out its Digital Editions 1.0 reading software today, and it’s now available for a free download. In beta for the past six months, the software is able to handle PDF, flash and XML files, and also supports the new IDP Open Publication Standard (OPS) used for eBooks. So that means it’s already going to work with the 150,000 eBook files that are currently rotting on shelves and hard drives the world over. It’s able to do some new tricks, too. galleryPost('adobedigitaleditions', 4, 'Digital Editions 1.0');
The folks at SpaceTime are trying to shake up how you browse the Web with a free app that lets you browse in 3D. The idea is pretty simple, rather than have a 2D layout of your browser with tabs all over the place, SpaceTime breaks the “pages” out like a storyboard. It’s not so practical if you’re looking at one page, but if you’re doing a search, it’ll stack your search hits in 3D (making it easier to see them all at once). It’ll do the same for your eBay searches letting you browse through photos of the stuff you wanna buy. The app is available for PCs only. – Louis Ramirez
