Not Yet PJ.

They are still keeping the access real tight to their internal group until the UI is completed. They want to be absolutely sure the UI is bullet-proof in its friendliness, functionality, and intuitiveness. In fact they have hired an outside firm with UI expertise to help them finish of the UI component of the Digital-Me. I would guess for their UI experience and to speed up the deployment.

Once they feel the UI is near complete - I would guess they will allow some restricted external beta access. I have asked to be one of the testers and they thought I would be a good candidate.

I'm chomping at the bit to try it, but still waiting Peter. I do fully understand their attention to detail on the initial release since this would be their first real "Internet" service deployment and they have to do it right or risk industry rejection on this and any future planned Internet product/services releases (like I-Chain service offerings).

My only fears are that we are seeing a lot of similar-type competing services starting to show up and Novell's digital-Me thunder is being stolen by the e-wallet offerings.

I know the Digital-Me is more than that - but perception may be reality for Novell's Digital-Me as an also-ran service and one that will be hard to prove otherwise. The first ones into this service gain the best parts of the glory.

I am not sure if the Digital-Me service requires an XML capable browsers like IE5, or if they are putting an XML-to-HTML translator in place to ensure all browsers can access the Digital-Me service. I would guess the later is true for better market penetration.
