The iEmulators Beta
Sounds a little exciting, doesn't it? Originally we wanted to keep this a secret until we first launched the new version of the site, but we couldn't contain it for much longer.
Although iEmulators 2.0 is launching with some of the current emulators you know and love (plus lots of changes), we have been working on adding a handful of others that we know you will be thrilled to install - without jailbreaking of course!
Given how close the release of iOS 8 is to the upcoming release of iEmulators 2.0, we decided early on to have a "beta" of sorts to test out a few things.
Reasons For The Beta
We got some new hosting options we would love to learn more about - more specifically, can they handle the traffic that iEmulators currently gets (plus a lot more, we hope)? This is very crucial to a site that focuses on distribution and we don't want to release a whole new host only to have it taken down by too many downloads.
Second reason and one of the most important of all is that we have got a hold of some emulators we want to add to the site. These emulators were obtained through various means and even directly from developers themselves. We wanted to simply add them to the site on day one but we decided that given how everyone would be running iOS 8 by then, we'd figured we better take things calmly and do some proper testing first.
So far, a lot of the apps seem to run on iOS 8 - others don't fare so lucky; however, they might just work on older devices perfectly. All these things is what we want to find out, and we require you, the users, to find out.
With this in mind, we will be hosting a beta very soon to test all these apps as well as the host. The beta page isn't up just yet, but we can't wait to tell you how it will work.
How The Beta Works
You'll find all this information I've just given in that beta page, and also certain steps to take in order to be eligible for it. The whole thing will be organized via a mailing list where you sign up and you can receive special emails from us with secret links and passwords to a secondary, secret beta page where some apps will be available for download - but not all at once.
Anybody can sign up for the mailing list, but only a limited amount of users will be allowed to before we disable the mailing list. To be even considered for the group, you must do three simple things first which we will be verifying in order to make it to the beta group.
You must be following @iEmulators on Twitter.
You must be subscribed to OPERATIONiDROID on YouTube
You must retweet a tweet to share the news of the beta.
That's it! When the beta page is live, and all three things are done, you are eligible to join the limited mailing list. Remember, this won't open for a few more days so there's no tweet to retweet yet.
Even if you're eligible and sign up for the list, only a limited amount of people can be taken in - this is a first come, first serve type of deal so you have to be alert and keep up on Twitter to find out when we'll be releasing that mailing list link. We'll give notices ahead of time and make sure a lot of these things are done after school in some regions.
This beta will more than likely start a few days after we launch iEmulators 2.0, so be prepared and stay tuned with everyone involved!
