LOS ANGELES, June 16, 2003 - Multimedia software producer Xochi Media Inc <http://xochi.com/>
announces the Public Beta release of iScreensaver
Designer version 3.1, still the world's only cross-platform
screensaver editor.
First released in 1998, this incremental release in the
iScreensaver series adds new license options, new features, ease of
use improvements and bug fixes. iScreensaver has enough power
for professional and corporate use, while its quick-start wizard and
visual editor make it simple enough for personal use.

* New "Personal" license provides most of the features
of our Pro licenses at an affordable price for friends & family
use.

with a few easy steps.
* Expert users can bypass the wizard and go directly to the
advanced editor.
* High quality QuickTime graphics resizing algorithm is now
standard across all platforms

iScreensaver Designer 3 includes full support for Mac OS X and
Windows XP, as well as a Slide Show editor with features not found in
any other product. The editor software is available for Windows and
Macintosh, and either version will build a screensaver for both
platforms.
The Public Beta is fully functional, but license codes will not
be sold until the final release version of 3.1 is available. The
iScreensaver download is free and you may test all features with no
time limit before you purchase.

movies and pictures (including MPEG, MooV, AVI, Macromedia Flash,

self-contained screensaver with a one-click installer. You can
