Zengobi launches Universal version of Curio for Mac OS X

Zengobi today announced the availability of a Universal version of Curio, its award-winning brainstorming and document management application for the Mac. In addition to native support for Power PC and Intel-based Macs, Curio 3.1 includes new features like search term highlighting, idea space hoisting, and improved PDF display options. 

“Creating a Universal version of Curio was a straightforward process and, amazingly, we had Curio running natively on Intel-based Macs in under two days,” said George Browning, Zengobi’s founder in a statement. “Apple’s Xcode development environment made the process incredibly easy, even when dealing with almost 250,000 lines of code spread across a dozen projects.”

“The power of Xcode has given Apple developers the opportunity to quickly and easily deliver native Universal applications for our blazing fast new hardware,” said Ron Okamoto, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations in the press release. “We’re delighted to have Zengobi join the rapidly growing community of developers with Universal versions of their applications.”

Curio gives the imagination the tools and space to run free. Anything you can do on a whiteboard or in a sketchbook, you can now do in Curio. Place anything anywhere on the page to create freeform collages of text, images, outlines, checklists, documents, sketches, and movies.
