Hey everyone! 

We are really excited to share with you a truly fantastic app currently being integrated with Galileo. Developed by one of our Kickstarter developers, AirBeam streams high quality real time video and audio from any of your Apple devices. You can even have a multi camera or multi monitor setup and it is super simple to use. We are thrilled to have AirBeam on board and believe it really expands the possibilities for Galileo.

Check out this brief demo of AirBeam integrated with Galileo. DEMO

We have now highlighted two apps integrating with Galileo. Developers, share with us what you are working on and we will let everyone know!

Kindly note, the only Galileo devices we have shipped are the pre-production units that were promised as the reward for the Kickstarter developer pledge level. For everyone else, we understand you are frustrated that we haven’t shipped Galileo yet. We want nothing more than to deliver to you an awesome product as fast as possible. As we mentioned in the last update, we aim to submit our in-house apps to the app store in April. The day they are approved, we start shipping. We will continue to update you weekly on our progress and share with you what our developers are working on.

Thank you so much for your support!

Hey Kickstarters, 

We continue to be blown away by the excitement from our developers! We can’t wait to see their Galileo optimized apps in the app store! In order to better facilitate communication between all our developers and our software team, we will soon be adding a developer forum to dev.motrr.com. For now, you can download the Galileo SDK at dev.motrr.com/Galileo-iOS-SDK. 

Development Update

Everyone wants to know when we are going to ship Galileo. The following is what we are focused on so we can deliver Galileo to you: 

• Motrr Live - Finish the video chat app with Galileo control functionality 
• Motrr Launch - Finish the portal app with Galileo 3rd-party app discovery and firmware update functionality 
• SDK - Refine the SDK based on developer feedback 
• Assembly - Continue refining our final assembly process 

There is a lot of work to be done between now and delivering Galileo to you, so we don’t have a specific ship date. Internally, however, we have set an aggressive goal to submit both of our in-house apps to the app store for approval by the end of April. That is roughly 6 weeks from now. The day these apps are available in the app store for download is our green light to start shipping to all of you! 

Future Galileo 

Lightning 

We continue to push our application to become licensed to build Galileo using a lightning connector but have not been successful. Not much we can do about this. 

Bluetooth 

We are increasingly committing to Bluetooth technology as our solution for iPhone 5 compatibility. We are reworking the PCBs and testing different Bluetooth modules. We are still in early development with this product but will continue to update you on our progress. Understand, delivering the 30-pin Galileo is still our top priority. 

GoPro 

A major challenge in achieving compatibility with GoPro is that there is not an SDK available for it. We are still thinking up solutions and will be able to commit more development effort to it after we ship the current Galileo. 

Also, since there have been so many order adjustments, we will send out an order confirmation email before we start shipping.

Thank you for all the kind words and support you have shared with us. We really appreciate your support :)

We are almost there!

Hey everyone,

Thank you to all the developers and backers who have downloaded the Galileo SDK! In case you missed it, the SDK is available for download at dev.motrr.com/Galileo-iOS-SDK. 

Our developers have been hard at work designing and prototyping apps for Galileo. In fact, we are excited to share that one developer has already sent us an alpha version of his app for us to test with Galileo! 

It is a fantastic app for time-lapse photography and it works beautifully with Galileo. The app is called TimeLapse and it is currently available in the app store. It will be updated to add compatibility with Galileo when we start shipping. It’s free so check it out and tell us what you think!

Developers, share with us your app for Galileo so we can share it with everyone!

Also, just to be clear, the only Galileo devices we have shipped are the pre-production units that were promised as the reward for the Kickstarter developer pledge level.

Sorry, not much time for pictures the past couple weeks, hopefully we can get some good ones this weekend to share with everyone :)

If you recently changed your shipping address, let us know at info@motrr.com.

We are very excited and proud to release the Galileo Software Development Kit. It is a monumental milestone for us and for our Galileo community. We can’t wait to see what our developers come up with! 

The SDK has everything necessary for you to start updating and building new apps for Galileo. We have a ton more features on our wish list to include and will iterate on the SDK over time as we develop those features. If you have new ideas or interesting use cases, please share with us on Facebook or at info@motrr.com 

If you already have an app in the app store that you will update to make compatible with Galileo, send us your app icon and info so we can share your app with everyone!!!

Look out for future updates regarding ship date estimates, iPhone 5 and GoPro compatibility, and other info.

SDK RELEASE ON THURSDAY!!!

Good news everyone, we are on schedule for the SDK release this coming Thursday! Developers, if you have changed your shipping address or changed your order to a future Galileo and would prefer to receive a 30-pin model now, please let us know at info@motrr.com. 

We will be shipping the rest of the Kickstarter developer units over the next 10 days. We are excited to deliver Galileo to our developers and very much look forward their feedback. 

After the SDK is released, our software focus will move to finishing the video chat app and portal app we are developing. Our graphic designer has been working on the graphic elements and is almost finished skinning all the pages for both apps. The current approval time for new apps in the app store is around 10-14 days. We aim to submit these apps in March and be ready to ship roughly 2 weeks after they are submitted. 

Kickstarters, if you have a new shipping address and have not informed us, please email us at info@motrr.com so that we send your Galileo to the right location! 

Thanks, 

Motrr
