Joost可以下载了

收到Joost的信：

Hello 野鸭,

The waiting's over! Since we received your application to join the Joost
beta test program, we've been very busy fine-tuning it for you.

So here's some good news: we're now ready to expand our beta test
program, and we're delighted to invite you to join us.

You can download the Joost software right away, by clicking on the link
below. You'll find instructions for installing and running the software
on our download pages.

Get Joost here: https://www.joost.com/download/

Before you can watch Joost for the first time, you need to choose a
username and password. We've provided instructions for doing this on the
screens you'll see the first time you run the software. So hurry - this
is still beta software and it's not available to the general public yet,
so this is your opportunity to get the user name you want ahead of the
crowd!

Thanks for your patience in waiting for Joost. We hope you'll enjoy
using it as much as we've enjoyed creating it.

Cheers,

The Joost team

去下载试试先...10MB多一点点...

糟了，说我显存不够，nnd，试试再说...

翻看了一下我的电脑配置，我的内存应该是512MB，显存是64MB，为啥Joost“低估”了我的电脑呢？不解...

试着用Joost看了一下电视，还算流畅(DSL，可能是3M)，~~但好像我的DSL不是包月的，所以不敢多看...~~

原来Joost目前还需要邀请才能用，我注册用户名的时候就需要我填写收到邀请信的email地址。

~~正如你所看到的，目前我还没有邀请名额...~~

2007.05.09 更新：目前我有无限量的邀请名额了。

补充：不知道是我还是Joost不会数学？

Joost is a streaming video application, and so uses a relatively high amount of bandwidth per hour. In 1 hour of viewing, 320 Mb will be downloaded and 105 Mb uploaded, which means that a 1 Gb cap will be exhausted in about 10 hours.
