iStat menus 1.1 released

We last discussed iStat menus back in June and now the Australian company iSlayer has pushed out version 1.1, adding a variety of new features. Most important perhaps is the re-designed preference pane interface and calendar. There are also a variety of new graphs and breakdowns, as well as some a new sources and some Leopard-only features and improvements. While I've always been a fan of MenuMeters and MenuCalendarClock for similar functionality, iStat menus looks very intriguing, especially given the large number of possible data sources it can monitor.
iStat menus remains a free download from iSlayer.

This is very nice but I'm going to stick with MenuCalendarClock for the calendar function for now. MCC allow you to navigate month to month (couldn't figure out how iStat does this if at all) and you can select a date without automatically opening into iCal. I find the simple ability to highlight a date in the drop-down calendar quite useful when planning. It's nice not to have to launch iCal until I need to.

Make sure you guys donate to the developer! It might be free now, but it might not be free later!
