Delicious Library Wins Design Awards
Sunday, June 12, 2005
As many of you have already heard, Delicious Library won not one, but two Apple Design Awards at WWDC 2005. We won first place in Best Mac OS X User Experience and runner-up in Best Product New to Mac OS X. The prizes were insane this year. We won: A top of the line PowerMac G5, a 30" Cinema Display, a top of the line 17" PowerBook G4, a Developer Intel Transition Kit, a ADC Premier Membership, and a booth at Macworld SF 2006. The trophies are also really cool. The first place trophy is small aluminum cube with the Apple logo on top and when you pick it up the Apple glows white. Last years winners put theirs through a medical CT scanner to see how Jonathan Ives' group at Apple built the thing.

Post some fotos of the 30" displays mike. Would be awesome to see those.
Congratulations on a job well done. Sick prizes, you've gotta be loving that.
Whoa, those are some insane prizes!
Dude... did you each get those things, or do you have to do a thumb war or something to figure out who gets what?
You totally deserved it dude.
Perhaps this will encourage some updates to DL?
I just try to imagine that you guys go to your 'office' every morning with all that hardware under your arms...
Congratulations man, well deserved. Delicious Monster rocks! And post pics of the 30inch... Wicked!
Congratulations!!! I told you, Mike! And you got it. TWICE the award as expected, right?!
And I'm sure, more to come :D
Never thought that the prizes were awesome...
Keep up the good work ;)
Mike, that's great news, I just dropped by the local Apple store to pick up the giblets of my dead iBook and that 30" screen is more like a swimming pool than anything.
Delicious Library has become the first program I show to my friends when I try to describe what it is that makes the Mac so cool. You guys managed to tap into what makes an app a Mac app. Keep up the great work.
Wow. Congratulations to the Delicious Monster Team! Big prizes! Does that mean Zoka will have a top of the line PowerMac G5 with a 30" Display on one of its tables?
Your software rocks !
I have just got an iPod Photo and uploaded my Delicious Library so everything is on there now. One question though how do you get your To Do List and the Weather on your iPod ? is this only available in OS X 10.4 ?
on another note have you thought about commissioning some sort of clear perspex/plastic scanning hood attachment for the isght camera with a focus mechanism... maybe a spring loaded thing or some sort of stepped zoom in out or a focus wheel that manually ratchets down till barcodes are in focus ?
Obviously the clear perspex/plastic would allow lots of light in from the sides... also you could do different scanning hoods ones for different items..1 for books, 1 for CD's etc etc as the barcodes used in each industry do vary slightly in size etc.
I just had another thought...
what about adding a household insurance inventory feature ? by categories... furniture, electrical appliances, Power Tools, fixtures, fittings... etc etc...
obviously this would involve some manual input with fields for Make, Model, serial no, part number, description, miscellaneous etc... but you could have icons for common products in house i.e. TV, fridge, cooker, computers, peripherals etc and then the relevant fields for these items. same again for power tools, and Sports equipment... motorbikes, jet skis etc etc...... the possibilities are endless.
they dont necessarily have to be default features they could be add-ons you download, like DIY download (Drills, hammers, saw, Table saw etc) or garden (lawn mower, Decking sets table, bench, pool, chainsaw) etc....
i better stop now before i think of some more.
Jesus mofocking Christ! Those are some wicked prizes! Congrats!
Congrats! Let me tell you, Delicious Library is definitely one reason I'm making the switch back to Mac really soon. The question is, should I wait for the Intel Macs? I guess since developers can make programs with a Universal Binary, it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but I'm on the fence.
Should I wait or should I go?
Congrats! With all that new equipment can we except some more kick ass software from you guys? ;)
Congrats, guys. According to my bookie, you were 2-5 favorites, given what a great piece of software the Library is!
Now, more terrific features!
Michael, Congratulations!!!
See you in July!

Mike,
Following on Jamie Myles ideas...I to wondered about specifically the FRIDGE idea!!
Food has barcodes (still no RFID chips -yet!-)...what about handling a Fridge Inventory and set automated iCal reminders about what to get on the next grocery trip...also send it to the iPod when you sync it....
Further on...this opens up pandora's box becuase if a user wisely becomes addicted to your software, he/she has a virtual inventory of his houselhold assets and in case of teft/fire/natural disaster, what if I could 'send' my delicious monster inventory to my Insurance Company????
RFID will certainly change things, (I'm pretty sure you guys have this in the roadmap 2 years down the road...)
Feel free to contact me,
-Arturo Pelayo.
i agree with Arturo, having these details in the event of theft/natural disaster is exactly what my comments were aimed at... i hadnt thought of the RFID idea though... that would be a cool addition.
Amazing. Actually Amazing. Well done!
Congratulations, Mike.
I like your Delicious Library so much.
Congrats. You all deserve it. No doubt.
