    Hi Alex, we upgraded you to the first shipment, as discussed. You should have received an email with installation instructions and the pick by mail. I will double check and send you an email.

    Air Guitar Move in the App Store

    For all our $49 and $249 backers who received the picks and are experiencing problems with TestFlight, we have good news. The game was just approved by Apple and will hit the App Store in the next 24 hours. If you haven't installed the app yet, just follow the instructions in the manual: insert the pick and click 'ok' to go to the app store. The Air Guitar Move 1.0 app should be the only app listed. If you already installed the TestFlight app and want to switch to the app store version of the app, just delete the Air Guitar Move app from your iPhone and reinsert the pick. The version in the app store is the same build as TestFlight version 1.0 build 225. We're submitting an update to the App Store this week to bring the version up to par with the latest TestFlight build (1.0 520). It takes up to 24 hours for the app to be available in all international app stores, if the app doesn't show up yet, please try again in a few hours.

        Hi Ronald,
        Glad you are making progress. Hardware is challenging. Any idea when the $39 folks will see their picks. Thanks - keep up the good work!

    Apple Approval, Production Begins

    Alright Guys and Gals.  Big news.  

    Apple has officially approved the hardware, and as of today our factory in China is starting production.  This is a huge milestone for us, and it is a huge relief to be able to announce it.  Based on this, we will ship the $39 units by June 1st.  We will use testflight to distribute apps to the backers who paid $49 and $249, and ship those units by May 1st.  

    Thanks so much for your patience.  Things are coming together really well, and we could not have made it to this point without you.  I understand the concern expressed by some of you; I too have backed projects that have had delays.

    I can, however, tell you that Ronald and I wake up every day with one goal- get this product to market and build a business of innovative and fun iOS experiences.  We are constantly pushing the product, and showing demos.  You'll never find me without an Air Guitar in my pocket, assuming I'm wearing pants.  

    In addition to our kickstarter goals, the product will launch in retail this summer, in the US and abroad.  The retailer cannot yet be disclosed, but you'll find them in every major city.  

    Colin
