eBay Desktop 1.0 is now available
February 27, 2008
eBay Desktop 1.0 is now available for download. This free application has been made as an alternative to the website. You can use it to search, browse, bid and keep track of your auctions.
The 1.0 release contains lots of bug fixes and performance enhancements and from user feedback some new features. eBay desktop takes advantage of the Adobe AIR platform which was recently released.
We have worked on the project for nearly 2 years, and I am very pleased with the end result. We have lots more enhancements planned for the coming weeks and months, but this the most important milestone so far. The eBay Desktop team from Effective UI has worked incredibly hard on this, and I’d like to thank them all: Sean, Greg O., Greg C. Jason, and all the project alumni: thank you! And thanks to all the eBay members who have provided great suggestions, ideas, bug reports, and words of praise. I hope that we can continue to provide great user experiences that make the eBay marketplace more fun and dynamic, and help connect more individuals through the simple act of commerce.
You can download the destop client here
