Who Doesn't Like Suprises
We have a couple things for you today.
In this video update, Gabor talks about our Beta release plan and schedule. Hint! It is sooner than we had planned.
We also have Chameleon running on a Nexus 7 (on Jelly Bean of course) and it is buttery smooth. If you aren't following our Twitter account (@Chameleon_App) you may not have seen our sneak peek video of Chameleon on a Nexus 7. You can check it out here. http://youtu.be/eUyClY-1JuQ
Other than that, make sure to pay attention to your email inbox over the next week.

Creator Robert Desisto on August 6, 2012
It's August 6th any emails going out today
Creator Josh Goodwin on August 1, 2012
The beginning of "the beginning of august" is today. Off to check my email.
Creator Myke Folkes on July 28, 2012
My birthday is on the 1st.. hint hint ;) Can we have the beta for my birthday...?
Creator Robert Desisto on July 20, 2012
I wish it was August already!!!
Creator Lukas on July 20, 2012
Mr. Vida already posted the international version of the video just look at his first comment here. That works well for me. A workaround is to use proxtube or similar software (though international versions are always nicer, thanks for that Teknision!). :D
Creator Wilfried on July 20, 2012
See the former comment, please don't use music like this and make it impossible to watch the video in Germany.
Creator Zsolt Juhász on July 20, 2012
Unfortunatly the N7 Video is not available in Germany...
"Leider ist dieses Video, das Musik von SME beinhaltet, in Deutschland nicht verfügbar, da die GEMA die Verlagsrechte hieran nicht eingeräumt hat.
Das tut uns leid."
in English:
"Unfortunately this video, which includes music by SME is not available in Germany since the PRO has not given the publishing rights thereto.
We are sorry. "
Creator Francis Thibault on July 20, 2012
Can't hardly wait, my minimalistic Touchpad setup will thank you! So many usage scenarios in my head!
Creator Gabor Vida - Teknision on July 20, 2012
Chameleon works in both landscape and portrait. Even on the Nexus 7.
Creator Adrian on July 19, 2012
Thank god it's early August release!
Creator Ross Williams on July 19, 2012
Gabor and team, keep up the great work, this is looking fantastic! Showed this to a friend who is a recent Android convert (Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 on order) and he was so impressed that he pre-ordered immediately on your site. Can't wait to load the beta on my Transformer Prime!
Creator Ross Williams on July 19, 2012
@Timothy, Some of the previous videos showing Chameleon on 7" and 10" Tablets had orientation switching so I would say even though it is not shown in that video it is a fair bet it will be possible in the version you will get on your tablet.
Creator Bill WIll on July 19, 2012
Awesome news Gabor. Big thanks for yourself and your team. I can only say for myself, even though you said August 1st, I'll probably be checking my email inbox from now until August. Also super pleased to hear it works on Jelly bean.
Having supported this project on kickstarter, makes it all the sweeter.
Kudos.
Creator c manuel gonzalez on July 19, 2012
I am so excited I'm like a kid in the car saying over and over again, Gabor are we there yet?
Creator Timothy Cook on July 19, 2012
looks great, but I still wish it had landscape suport.
Creator Emanuele Ricci on July 19, 2012
yay!!!!!
Creator Charlie Mathews on July 19, 2012
I need a time machine...STAT!
Creator Graham Green on July 19, 2012
Is it August yet?
Creator Brian Smistek on July 19, 2012
I just know this marvel of ingenuity will knock some socks off. I can't wait for the beta drop. Thanks Gabor and family.
Creator Jesse on July 19, 2012
I have a question about Chameleon on the Nexus 7.
I know that the default launcher only works in portrait mode.
Will Chameleon on the Nexus 7 be able to be used in landscape?
Creator Beran Young on July 19, 2012
I can't wait!!!! My widgets drive me NUTS!
Creator Jonathan Simon on July 19, 2012
@Jan Probably by making it available to everyone, but the app won't run without a license in place or something like that. Pure speculation, but that's how I'd do it.
Creator mike interbartolo on July 19, 2012
any word on when the t=-shirts will ship out?
Creator Jan on July 19, 2012
How do you control that only backers will get the beta through Play Store?
Creator Ramonito Tongol on July 19, 2012
wow cant wait... :)
Creator Orillian on July 19, 2012
@Kingpong Li I'm in the same boat. Stuck waiting for my N7 to show up! The Transformer will do just fine for now though! Can't wait to test it out across my systems, including on my G.Nexus at some point! Fingers crossed.
Creator Gabor Vida - Teknision on July 19, 2012
If you cant see the YouTube video because its being blocked, try our international version here - http://youtu.be/9sTBdFrFusE
Creator Edward Williams on July 19, 2012
Chameleon accounted for 60% of my decision to purchase the Nexus 7.
I work from home and my job is not that demanding. I respond to tickets as they come. While my Nexus is more than capable of running my email client, Skype, etc., I thought it would be a heck of a lot more convenient to have it on a tablet, and given the way Chameleon works, I can simply load my Work screen to stream email, Skype, etc. when I'm either at home or on the go, and respond to them as they come in.
Cannot wait for this to be released!
Creator Jim L on July 19, 2012
Sweet! Can't wait for it on my N7 (well I have to have my N7 first :))
Creator Parker on July 19, 2012
wait wasn't it supposed to come out in august anyways?
Creator Aaron on July 19, 2012
Gahhhhh yes please! The one UI change that I would put on my nex7!
Creator Manini on July 19, 2012
nice ! but i can't watch the nexus 7 video because of germanys retard corporation GEMA ... looks like you have used some music we are not allow to hear ;)
Creator CrazedHatter - OO's Lunatic in a Hat on July 19, 2012
I am commenting on this from a Nexus 7 so this is relevant to my interests.
Creator Lukas on July 19, 2012
Hey guys! The Nexus7 video has a problem:
"Chameleon on the Google Nexus 7
teknision
This video is unavailable
Leider ist dieses Video, das Musik von SME beinhaltet, in Deutschland nicht verfügbar, da die GEMA die Verlagsrechte hieran nicht eingeräumt hat.

I can use proxtube to get around it, but it would be cool if you used unlicensed music. :D
Can't wait for the beta!
