Client News: TuneUp Launches Mac Version
December 11th, 2008 by JeremyWhen TuneUp launched their Windows version this past summer, the most asked question was “where’s the Mac version?” (which really just validates our theory on how Apple’s computers are in a lot more people’s hands than traditional market share analysts would have you believe). The question is now answered, as the company launched their OS X version this morning. From Gabe, their CEO:
“TuneUp for Mac is a major step toward our goal of delivering the ultimate user experience for all music lovers,” says Gabriel Adiv, CEO and founder of TuneUp. “Based on the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve received from the iTunes community, we’re now working hard to expand the program to other major media players.”
I’ve known Gabe and Raza for a long while now, and I’m really excited to see the success of the product. I’ve worked with a lot of passionate leaders over my years, and its the ones who are building products they personally love that show the most success. Blake at Sling always pushed us to make sure the Slingbox was the best device for watching TV anyone could buy. Peter at Bug never misses a moment to share his vision of open, connected devices built by anyone with a little knowhow. Sol at 12seconds has undying faith in helping connect people to each other, a fifth of a minute at a time. Gabe eats, sleeps, and breathes music, and sees no obstacles in truly helping millions of iPod owners in improving their music experiences.
