LONDON, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- iView Multimedia (iView) today announced the immediate availability of iView Media for Windows®- and Mac®-based computers.

"iView began by providing professional digital media management solutions on Macintosh computers when there were none," said Mike Vieyra, chief executive officer of iView Multimedia Ltd. "We've had many users ask us both for a Windows version of our software and for a more affordable entry-level product. With the launch of iView Media on both Windows and Macintosh we are responding to our users' demands. As we grow, we are committed to delivering a better, more affordable way of managing, sharing and storing the sounds and images of the digital lifestyle."
