Briefly: new .Mac webmail, DVD Studio Pro, NASDAQ

Apple Computer has launched its new .Mac webmail interface and also issued an update to its DVD authoring application. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ has agreed to continue listing the company on its index based on certain conditions.

Mail.app-styled .Mac webmail now live

Apple on Thursday evening officially launched its revamped .Mac webmail interface, first previewed and covered by AppleInsider last month.

"Introducing the next generation of webmail. With its smart use of the latest web technology, the new .Mac webmail will remind you of the Mail application on your desktop," Apple said in a note on its .Mac website. "You'll feel right at home with its simple and elegant interface, drag-and-drop capability, built in Address Book, and more."

.Mac is Apple's Internet service, which packs a suite of applications for email, photo sharing, backups, file synching and more. The service costs $99 per year.

DVD Studio Pro 4.1.1

Also on Thursday evening, Apple released DVD Studio Pro 4.1.1, which addresses an issue with disc layout for DDP and CMF images on Intel-based Macintosh computers.

The 2.3MB update is recommended for all users of DVD Studio Pro 4.1 and later.

NASDAQ grants Apple's request

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Apple said it has received a written notification from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has granted the company’s request for continued listing on market.

In August, the Nasdaq notified the Cupertino, Calif.-based company that it was not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing on the index. The non-compliance was the result of a quarterly filing delay stemming from Apple's ongoing stock options scandal.

The Nasdaq said it will continue to list Apple subject to the condition that the company shall file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2006, and any required restatements, by December 29, 2006.

In the filing, Apple said if unable to file the Form 10-Q by that date, it intends to seek an additional extension of time from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.
