Infuse 4 for Apple TV Coming Soon

As you can imagine, it's been a very busy fall here, to say the least. However, we're now (finally!) starting to see a beautiful bright light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is coming into form as Infuse 4 for Apple TV. We think what we've made is really great and we can't wait to share it with you very soon.

We're also happy to announce that Infuse 4 for Apple TV will be a free update for all current (v3) Infuse Pro users.

Happy Apple TV Pre-Order Day!

It may not be a national holiday (yet) but the new Apple TV is now available for pre-order! If you're anything like us, you're already ordered more than one, but if not, drop what you're doing and go get yours now!

We were fortunate enough to receive one of the first pre-release units, and have been putting in long hours every day since. To date, we've made some great progress, but still have some work to do and are hoping to have this great new version of Infuse available on the App Store later this year.
