The Future
Media applet 0.4.1 is almost ready. In this version I worked on integration with gnome-format(now there is action to format removable devices) and on bluetooth devices support. The last task I will work on is the integration with the new ubuntu notifications server, I really look forward to make media-applet works fine with it.
