We’re a bit behind schedule on shipping over the last week and a half. We had hoped to send out 15,000 units from August 13 to August 26, but we ended up shipping 9,040. We ran into a few issues with German and Canadian shipments, and had to hold those until we could resolve the issues (we’ve since changed service providers for Canada and included more paperwork for shipments to Germany to help with customs; if you’re in Germany or the EU and having an issue with customs, see this article for help and documentation).

Tja, dann sollte dem Versand bald nichts mehr im Wege stehen.

Software Update
On the software side, our app release planned for last week had been delayed. We submitted the app to the app stores, but as we were waiting for its release, a few of our external testers found an issue with the WifiDirect drivers. While they were working well on the vast majority of phones/carriers, we had to resolve the issue for a more comprehensive solution that served everyone (to the extent that saying “everyone” is possible when there are 25,000 Android devices; given the nature of the fix, we feel pretty confident Android folks won’t run into any connection issues). With that said, we’re really excited about this release; it is a really large release and it will have a big positive impact on user experience.
The new app release (v0.9.10) was pushed to Apple and Android stores last night (August 27). It should hit the app stores in the the usual 1-3 day approval timeline. The v0.9.10 release includes the WifiDirect support for Android phones, Sony camera support improvements, a new multipoint, whole scene, and focus stacking system, power management upgrade, handheld mode improvements, and additional reported bug fixes. If you want read the full app release notes for v0.9.10 and what’s coming next, you can access them here, but below is a quick snapshot of what’s included:

2) Sony Camera Improvements: fixes for live view lag, speed improvements to exposure bracketing, triggering, and setting changes; also fixes for a number of Sony models (all of our supported Sony cameras should be functioning well, except the A77, A77 II and A99, which we’re still working on).
