We will release a lot more information about our “Workout Blender” and “Workout Manager” software sometime in either November or December. As far as a release date goes it really isn’t possible to give you an accurate date yet. We’re shooting for the end of this year, but we will have to see how things go. Nor are we ready to disclose pricing at this time.
We’re hiring more programmers this week as we get ready for our final push on the software. Since programming involves inventing new things and solving problems every day, development does not follow well defined or accurate timelines. Technology is also changing extremely fast in this field. We’ve sometimes spent months developing a piece of code for this project only to have it made obsolete by newer and better technology.
At this time I would not recommend abandoning your DVDs as there are still some advantages that DVDs offer over downloads. Over the next several years we feel download technology will improve and will eventually replace DVDs, but this will not happen overnight.
In the beginning we view the Workout Blender as something that should be used in addition to your DVDs, not replace them. Then overtime as the technology and hardware improves and becomes cheaper you may then want to consider starting to replace them.
