Hello All

Here is the news on the current progress.

First, here is a video of the Apollo with a new controller. We opted to upgrade to a rotary color touchscreen with a built-in button since this allows for a more compact and minimalistic look while keeping all the functions in place.

Now for the second part of updates. We have negotiated a manufacturing deal that will outsource all of our hardware manufacturing and sales going forward. We will focus on development and software solutions since this is where we are the strongest. The deal allows for delivering all the pre-ordered Apollos, mass production, sales, and support going forward.\xa0Currently, we are in the process of modifying the design to suit the mass manufacturing process better. This consists of upgrading the CNC-milled main heatsink design to the molded heatsink and modifying the design of the plastic components for injection molding; the prototypes and pilot production units were made using 3D printing.

Schedule-wise, the plastic molds are expected to take around six weeks after the final design modifications, and the aluminum mold will take about the same time. I will have a better idea of the ramp-up schedule next month.
