I'm in exactly the same position as number 1!!

Does anybody have a beta token they want to send my way?

Well, I'd love to try this out (starving college student, no TV, etc.), but I've only got an iBook G4. I know the article says "Mac Intel" but what's the story on PowerPC support? Is it there (IE: is this a Universal Binary)? Is the PPC build separate? Does a PPC build even exist?

Im in the same position as you two!
If anyone has a joost token and is very cool and nice :)

@ Kichigai Mentat - No, No and No
Intel only for the time being

I'm disappointed that the beta is Mac Intel only. How many PPC Macs are out here still, including mine? Seems like the Joost folks are appealing to a small niche of an already small niche. I wish them well, but they have left me out, so I guess I'm leaving them out!

same here...
i've got the invite to find out the mac version was not even out.
waited some time and see the intel version pop out and everyone with a ppc processor has to wait a bit longer....

The MacIntel beta is pretty slick. The UI controls were a bit choppy and stuck/froze more than once on the fastest 15" MPB model.
You've probably seen others, here are my screen shots too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billythekid/tags/joost/

Oh, and no tokens for me either.

...no one gets forgotten, guys :) But we have so many people signed up for the beta program that it just takes a while to get everyone on board.
Don't give up on us yet ;)
