Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano.

Just want to say what a great job you did. The implementation of the mall functionality is the best implementation you have done in my opinion. Although there are many bugs i hope and i believe with the updates will not be there in the end

Be careful when upgrading VM 2.0 to VM 2.2, read the release notes, the latest news section of this site and the forum, you will save yourself a lot of time and grief.

Ok my review for the try to change from xtcmodified to virtuemart..
virtuemart features: no downloadable products, no quantity discount, no invoices, no way to price searching portals, no way to affiliate portals, no compatibility to joomla 2.5, no import/export function for other shopsystems, no wishlist function, no automaticaly change to reseller group if a reseller registers, no no no .... Is the new motto of Virtuemart Back to the roots?? Realy important things that work year old shopsoftware is NOT working in virtuemart.. For shops who want to be modern and comfortable to customers there is realy no way to use virtuemart.. Bad, but we changed back to xtcmodified. This shop can everything do you want to. And its GPL and for free too.
Virtuemart: That was realy the right way.
