	Iridium is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.5 and IridiumTunes was last updated for iTunes 6.0.2.

	I have been thinking about this for a while now. And, it appears that the advent of the new iTunes look (which began in iTunes v5.0) has gotten many application developers to bundle their own iTunes-like skins internally.

	While I applaud the desire to update the look and feel of these applications, the fact that they are bundling their own skins, means that they are NOT skinned by Iridium. The point of Iridium was to provide 1 universal look to all applications. This new trend in the mac community makes that not possible. I will be updating the downloads to include this End of Life notice.

	The downloads will remain available, but I will no longer offer support for either product.
