Welcome to our new format forReader Mail & Rumor report-each week we'll list out the rumors and then provide our take on them, with new reports every Friday.

bSecure coming back?:

While it's no suprise to see the return of some Babya apps after a development hiatus-think Babya Photo Workshop's replacement and of course bPictures there's been a lot of interest in the future of bSecure-that has been discussed before-eg.

• in 2006 we said "Babya bSecure appears to be been discontinued-Babya System '06 no longer installs it."
• Current version is 3 yrs old and not Vista compatible

With a event next week-could we see a new bSecure? 

Babya fall event and bTunes

Next week A.A. Fussy will give a keynote to kick off the Babya Fall Expo. 

It's expected that bTunes will be announced and demoed on video.

Babya PhotoPro 4

News of Babya PhotoPro 4 was leaked when BookSmart to go was announced last month-but so far accorsding to Alvin Novick:"we're going to get Discoverer and bTunes out as soon as we can, this means  PhotoPro and Production Suite 2 are now likely  going =to miss the targeted November-perhaps a Q1 2009 release".

Next week:
