Pre-release: Sherlock/watson For Windows

Well, I have been very quiet on these boards and I have decided to make an application. I have just started developement so it will take some time.

I am making an application like Sherlock or Watson for those of you that are familiar. I dont know how Aqua it will look at first, I just want to get the functionality in. THen in the end I will make it look Aqua or Brushed Metal.

I want to know if there is already a good program like this so that I dont waste my time in doing this project. Anyone know of one? Anyways.

I will need beta testers so all interested please post in here, I will keep you all updated with the latest news and screenshots. Wish Me Luck!!!

Are you kidding. This will be awesome!! (Y) I don't know of any programs that mimic the Sherlock/Watson for Windows, so go for it. If you would like, I could be the stress tester. 500MHz PIII, 128MB of RAM, nVidia GeForce TNT2 Ultra Integratted Graphics. The crappiest of all machines here.

E-bay/shopping

#79036

Movie Reviews? You mean like the preview and showtimes? Give me a site that does Movie Reviews and I will see if it can be put in

If I was in the proper mood to start a flame war, I would mention my IBM PS/1. But I'm not.

Ok guys thanx for the great feedback. I am starting to add you all to my beta list, keep the suggestins coming and tell me what YOU want to see in this program.

#79107

I wouldn't mind taking part in beta testing this app. I have always thought that Watson was a great app and wished for a Windows version.

Count me in.

#79108

er sorry, i want to be a beta tester too, i hope it isnt too late?

ok here are some things that would be cool;

mapquest/driving direction thingys

movie previews, showtimes, etc

ebay and or google search

also maybe some kind of news checker for sites you add.

#79110

Kewl, no it will never be too late for beta testers. I have Mac OS X 10.3 but I need some screenies in 10.2 of Sherlock. Anyone got em? Either post em online or send em to FalconLeader@mac.com.
