Over the last year we have reviewed our sourcing and pricing methods. It's been quite the overhaul ! The net result is that we were able to lower prices on most products. We hope you find the new prices competitive.

As for shipping: TNT usually has the best rates and is usually as fast as UPS, but we can't show all their rates automatically on our website yet. So, please ask us about it if there's no rate visible. In that case you can also select the TNT shipping option and save your cart as a quote. We'll then update your quote with the TNT shipping rate.

There's our Link (MacOS X / Windows) software but here's more on linking I-CubeX to other software: we recently released Keys v1.40, software that maps sensor data to key codes and strings. Make your I-CubeX data appear as keyboard strokes and text strings to control other software programs. The applications are many and we surely haven't thought of all of them ! It's a quick and easy to way to control sound and video playback using eg. Windows Media Player for interactives design. Also: an effective solution to automating behaviour measurement. Let us know how you want to use it !

Finally we're inviting you to join the I-CubeX group to stay in touch with your fellow I-CubeX users, exchange experiences etc.

While we're working on expanding our wireless product spectrum, we tested the use of wireless USB gear with the USB-microDig v7.10/7.1 and found that it works great ! While a little bulkier than our Wi-microDig, it's a cost effective solution if you wanted to go wireless with a USB-microDig you already own.

We presented the "XVJ" (Xpressive Video-Jockey) Sessions in the SIGGRAPH Studio with a workshop and demos. SIGGRAPH took place in Vancouver, Canada from 7-11 August 2011. We thank those who had the chance to stop by !

Also, we just released a new editor v3.4 for Windows that fixes a number of issues, notably the issues with MIDI port mapping, data recording, default directories and installation.

We reviewed the shipping options again and decided to expand Canada Post shipping options with Xpresspost shipping in addition to the Small Packet Air shipping option. These options are available for orders upto $1000. For the Small Packet Air shipping method, unfortunately there's no shipment tracking and insurance is upto $100 only. We'll let you weigh the options. Regardless, if you'd like us to check whether we can do better in your specific case, let us know - we'll be happy to look into it.

Also, we now offer more options wrt. the customs declaration of your goods. Since you're the importer we thought you'd like to be in control. Read the section about shipping in the sales policy for details.
