Kandalu, Ltd. The name Kandalu was born as a homage to the creator’s favourite movie by Orson Welles, Citizen Kane. The legendary Kane’s mansion - Xanadu in the movie but Kandalu in reality - with it’s overshadowing structure similar to a museum, is a sort of an enormous bazaar where you can find any object or artwork and represents a real philosophy of life. The software’s aim is, in fact, to create a container in which all products related to the iPod can be found so as to optimize their function. Following this philosophy, Rosebund (key word of the movie) will come to life, the first ever software that will allow to connect two or more iPod’s to each other in order to download the contents directly. The initial development phase schedules a first version in which the connection between the two iPod’s will still happen through the computer. The following versions will be provided with a specific hardware for a direct connection..


Projects The Kandalu project was born during the first months of 2004, following the iPod’s big success, with the aim of developing, creating and distributing on the web a software capable of managing, optimizing and extending the functions of the iPod. The first product of this new software generation had the purpose to show on video the information (the musical files in the iPod) with a simple graphical interface and with the aim to duplicate the official Apple-iTunes interface screen. The following step was the one to improve the esthetics and most importantly to guarantee it’s stability. The Apple mp3 limitations were immediately obvious: the impossibility to transfer musical files from the iPod to the Computer.. Hence, the necessity to create an “ad hoc” code that permitted the overcoming of this obstruction. As a result the “230265”, prototype of the today’s Kandalu X, was born. Originally, extrapolating the metadata contained in the file iTunes-DB, it allowed the reading and subsequently the import of musical files (mp3) from the iPod to the Mac. The future releases will support formats ACC and Mp4 (video) as well as the MP3 format.
