Hello Bibble Friends and Customers,

As you likely know, we've been working on our next generation Photographic Workflow application Bibble 5 for a while, and have stated that we would make it available in Q4 2008. With 2008 quickly drawing to a close and the holiday season now upon us, it has become apparent that we will not be able to live up to that goal.

As such, we will not be releasing Bibble 5 this year. We know this information will disappoint many of you. Please understand it disappoints us a great deal as well. Bibble 5 is a very important product for us, and one of our most important commitments to you is to make sure it is of the highest quality when it is released. Bibble 5 is a revolutionary product in a lot of ways and includes many capabilities not seen before in a program of its type. As we’ve come down to the wire, we’ve run into a few unexpected problems which has cost us a little time. Please know that all of us here at the Labs are working our tails off in order to get Bibble 5 into your hands as quickly as possible.

So, where do we go from here? We’ve heard your feedback over the previous few months, and one thing we hear loud and clear is your desire for us to share more information about what is going on with Bibble 5’s development. To that end, we will endeavor to answer as many questions and to provide as much detail as we can about what Bibble 5 will include. We will post additional videos showing the editing tools, asset management framework and other capabilities of B5, and we will commit to continuing to listen to your feedback and to completing Bibble 5 in as rapid a time frame as possible, without choosing schedule over quality.

We will also commit to deliver a public preview version of Bibble 5 no later than the end of January 2009.

While we know many of you will be upset with this news, we also know how excited you will be when you can actually use B5. As those of you who have seen it in action know, Bibble 5 raises the bar in just about every aspect of photo workflow software and will provide many new possibilities for improved creativity and productivity in your workflow. We know this delay will cause some of you to move on, but for those of you who stick around, we are confident that you will agree that the wait was well worth it.

As always, thanks for your support, and have a great holiday and new year.

-The Bibble Team
