Amnesty Hypercube Moves Google Gadgets and Other Web Widgets To The Desktop
Washington, DC – July 10, 2007 – Mesa Dynamics announced today the alpha preview release of Amnesty Hypercube, a free desktop widget platform designed to release Google Gadgets and other web widgets (such as Flash games and video) from the confines of the browser.
A web widget is a mini-application, often deployed as an HTML code snippet, intended for insertion into blogs, homepages and social networking profile pages. Amnesty Hypercube converts these web widgets into standalone desktop widgets that live outside the browser. Amnesty Hypercube also can be used to extend Apple's Dashboard widget library by allowing its converted widgets to be pushed into Dashboard with one click.
In order to simplify the widget discovery process, Amnesty Hypercube features an extensive directory of over 150 web widget providers that can be explored from inside the application. In addition, Amnesty Hypercube easily imports any web widget from these providers with its "NoClick" technology, which automatically creates a desktop widget when HTML code is copied to the clipboard.
The alpha preview of Amnesty Hypercube for OS X is immediately available for download at http://www.amnestywidgets.com and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. The alpha preview of Amnesty Hypercube for Windows XP and Vista will be available in August 2007.
