To all our readers, users, testers, and all the rest of you out there: have a GREAT 2006!

For us a lot of exciting things are going to happen in 2006: The release of DopplerMobile, and, probably the most anticipated event for all Doppler users: the release of Doppler 3.0! Yes, it’s going to happen, and soon!

This month (I assume you are reading this in January) we are going to release the first public beta of Doppler 3.0. Whereas until now Doppler was always tested in a closed beta setup, we are changing things to a public beta. And for those of you who wonder, why we came up with a mobile version while you where all expecting Doppler 3.0: DopplerMobile actually contains a lot of code straight from Doppler 3.0! So basically it means when we’re working on DopplerMobile we’re working on Doppler 3.0 too.

Just a (very brief) overview of the things upcoming in Doppler 3.0:

• a completely new RSS parser
• embedded media player for both audio -and- video, supporting streaming of podcasts and playback of local files
• categorized feeds
• a more up to date look and feel, things have been brushed up.
• based on .NET 2.0
• NewsGator synchronization of your feeds
• A new threading model (it means that Doppler uses less resources)
