2012 was a challenging year for us. We saw Windows 8, Windows RT and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion being released, this pose  a challenge for us as we look towards supporting these new Operating System. At the same time, we saw the emergence and relevance of the mobile platform particularly in the area of Tablet development and usage.

With the release of Windows 8, we embarked on redesigning our applications to support the new touch controls and the 64 Bit Platform. This saw us revamping iRedSoft Image Resizer, JBatch It and Batch JPEG Rotator in the last quarter of 2012 to incorporate these and other enhancements. We will not be stopping there, we will be working on upgrading Batch TIFF Resizer Lite, Batch TIFF Resizer, Batch It, Batch It Pro and Batch It Ultra through to early 2014.

We will explore the Windows RT Operating System for Windows Tablets in the future but at the moment, we feel that the market and Windows RT platform is still in its infancy and applying resources to develop application specifically for it would be an unproductive and expensive exercise. However, we will be exploring and developing for the iOS platform for the iPad. This will mostly be productivity applications.

Happy 2013!
