This consolidation will result in Miso users coming over and joining the Dijit service, which will bring enhanced services to everyone. Dijit seeks to do this with minimal disruption to the existing Miso subscribers, although their nifty "Quips" app is being sunsetted. Learn more about the pending merger at Forbes .

It may have taken longer than expected, but as the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait. Dijit 3.0.0 is now available from the iTunes App Store, and it's pretty amazing. According to the company, "The iPad is quickly becoming the ultimate living room "console" device, it's the perfect companion to watching TV, movies, and other entertainment in the home. It's a great tool for finding out what content is available, where you can get it, and learning more about it. The new Dijit for iPad app aims to be the keystone app for turning iPads into living room entertainment control consoles." Read: Dijit Insider #1: Jeremy Toeman on Dijit for Android, iOS updates, and the future of television Anyone who checked out our Dijit for iPad preview a few weeks ago knows that Dijit 3.0.0 marks a major release for Dijit.

Nonetheless, Dijit has finally offerred up a good look at the upcoming iOS release that brings iPad optimization and other enhancements to the Dijit for iOS app. &gt;&gt; Dijit for iPad Preview: Dijit's iOS App Gets Reimagined for the Tablet In a blog posting in their official blog, team Dijit gives insight into their reimagining process by sharing the guidelines they followed as they worked on what should turn out to be "the ultimate console for the coffee table." From the post: The user shouldn&rsquo;t have to try to &ldquo;find&rdquo; stuff in the app &ndash; ultimately if you are watching TV, we can&rsquo;t predict that you&rsquo;re about to want to push pause on the remote, change the channel, or read more on Wikipedia about that one actor in that one show. So everything is at your finger tips, all the time. Align the key features around how people naturally hold the iPad &ndash; while most design rules of thumb (pun highly intentional) would have you upper-align most features, we&rsquo;ve instead tried to position the things you&rsquo;ll touch the most...<div><a href="http://www.dijitcommunity.com/blog/entry/91167/Dijit-offers-sneak-preview-of-iPad-optimized-app/">[Read more]</div> Dijit Software Dijit News Fri, 02 Dec 2011 02:29:05 GMT Matt Whitlock http://www.dijitcommunity.com/blog/entry/91167/Dijit-offers-sneak-preview-of-iPad-optimized-app/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.dijitcommunity.com/blog/entry/91167/Dijit-offers-sneak-preview-of-iPad-optimized-app/?src=category_rss http://www.dijitcommunity.com/blog/entry/90970/Dijit-Shares-Everything-You-Wanted-to-Know-About-Dijit-for-Android-almost/?src=category_rss <img align="right" hspace="10" src="http://www.dijitcommunity.com/imagelib/contentitem/90970/501a4d8d579923f2--18ac1a30-133eb79e120-72a61348365797.jpg">The Dijit team has just posted a new blog entry over at the official blog, sharing a lot of new details regarding the new Dijit for Android app. It took a grand total of about 37 seconds from the moment Dijit&rsquo;s app release happened until we received our first request for an Android version (many here were confused at the delay, but we assume it just took that long for the message to get through the clogged pipes of the Intertubes). Diligent fans noticed the first foray of Dijit for Android &ldquo;sneak&rdquo; into the Android Market a couple of weeks ago, but that was pre-pre-pre beta... Feel free to wander over to the post to read it in full , but if you're not into reading the somewhat lengthy entry, I've covered the highlights below: Dijit considers the Android app to be a whole new product. Even though it replicates a lot of the features and UI elements of the iOS app, it's been designed from the ground up for Android.
