We can develop and author for either Apple Macintosh™ and IBM PC platforms, or a cross-platform (hybrid) CD-ROM that will work on both platforms. A hybrid CD-ROM can have a base set of files that are shared between the two platforms, such as Quicktime movies, and an application loader specific for each platform.

Newsbeat Developments also develops a "electronic business card" that has the capacity to run on all platforms (ISO9660 compatible) including the internet.
