Roughly six weeks after Remote Buddy turned five - which also means five years of free updates for all Remote Buddy users - we've released version 1.18, adding support for the forth major OS X® update: Lion.

About time for a party

While circumstances beyond our control (which I may write about in a future post, depending on outcome) have hindered us from celebrating Remote Buddy's 5th birthday as we intended and prepared to do, the arrival of the latest and greatest big cat presents another welcome reason to throw a virtual party!

Save 20%!

And so, in celebration of Remote Buddy's fifth anniversary and the release of Lion, you can now purchase Remote Buddy at a 20% discount for a limited time.

The discount only applies to single user licenses, has already been applied to our Online Store's price (so there's no need to enter any promo code) and will end on August, 1st 2011.

Missing Front Row in Lion? Time for a new buddy!

In Lion, Apple® has removed Front Row, leaving the system without a central application for accessing your media and controlling its playback. Like I've detailed in a previous blog post on Lion support, Remote Buddy is more than capable filling this gap. And this roaring promo presents a particularly good opportunity to get your hands on a copy!

Enjoy the software and the promo - and don't forget to tell your friends!
