Here’s a quick update on our current work at Citrus Suite. We find ourselves involved in a couple of exciting iPhone and iPad development projects at the studio here in Liverpool. One for a huge company in their sector, a cool creative piece that makes us very happy and the other an interactive project to be published by one of the most successful companies you can find on the smartphone app stores. Releases are expected much later in the year and we won’t be disclosing much more than this in the near future. We respect an NDA: there’s a pile of stuff we worked on in 2010 that we still won’t breathe a word of.

We’re also planning mind bending stuff on IPTV (hello YouView or other internet connected TV platform), and are excited about the potential for getting video and TV content out there with a guerilla marketing whiz and bang and straight onto people’s telly boxes. Oh and maybe the odd TV application, seeing as we’re partial to a bit of that.

So there’s quite a bit going on, but we’re on the look out for some other neat projects, whatever they may be and wherever they may come from.

So that’s us for now. We’ve previously billed Citrus as a ‘Video Game Development Service Provider’, a ‘Liverpool Developer on iPhone, iPad and Android’, and to the point an ‘Interactive Development Studio, (with added) Sharp Ideas, Fresh Solutions’ (thanks Jules). We’re all of that and more. I’m up for a cuppa, Moroccan Mint? Drop us a line and we’ll have a brew!

Citrus Suite is developing a number of projects for the YouView platform at the moment. We’re happy to hear that though the launch could be said to be slipping developers will soon be able to see the core spec…

“YouView, a new subscription-free internet-connected TV service for the UK, today confirmed that it will have a product in trial by the end of this year, with a full consumer launch planned in early 2012.

YouView also today confirmed that it will shortly publish its core technical specifications for launch which have required significant technological innovation as well as industry engagement to create a TV platform, based on common standards.
Its open approach combined with the subscription free model sets YouView apart from other TV platforms in the market.”
