RSSSONICblue Seeks Beta Testers
By Nate Mook | Published June 10, 2002, 9:10 PM
With a slew of new products planned, digital media firm SONICblue is looking for beta testers to trial their next generation hardware. Because some of the beta programs run concurrently, the company is looking to build a large pool of testers of all types - not just those with tech savvy.
Upcoming beta tests could potentially include SONICblue's replayTV line, OEM versions of Rio flash memory players, the Rio Riot hard disk player and multiple Go-Video products.
Applying to the beta program does not guarantee acceptance, however SONICblue needs people representing a wide range of backgrounds, personal interests and experience levels. If selected, a beta program representative will contact you for a particular project.
In additional, SONICblue asks that all testers:
- Devote time (daily) for testing, and provide feedback at least once a week
- Provide prompt updates to bug reports whenever a new software build is released and/or if additional information is requested by a Beta Program Coordinator
- Follow SONICblue's bug reporting guidelines for every bug reported
- Keep Beta Program aware of any changes to your schedule, new mailing address, phone numbers, email addresses, etc.
Here is a link to the NDA for anyone who missed it.

|I filled out the form, and when I tried to download the NDA then a user name and password prompt pops up.
I was never sent a user name and password by e-mail (I correctly put in the address)
The form never asked for a user name and password.
If someone has a copy of the NDA, can they please e-mail it to me or tell me how I can log in and get a copy of it. E-mail address is: sb@totallynuts.org
Thank you.

|Uh...You're not supposed to get it notarized.
Well I guess you could if you wanted to. But that's not a requirement.
