So while it’s not all that common for those of us here at blog HQ to talk about our overseers at uTest, this week we had no choice. In case you haven’t heard or visited this blog this week (and if so, then FOR SHAME), uTest announced on Wednesday that it has acquired Apphance in a seven-figure deal.  That very same day uTest also launched its new product for mobile developers, uTest Apphance, making it free to all for the rest of 2012.

I’d like to say if you missed the news, you’re not alone. But in this particular instance, it’s likely you are indeed pretty lonely. And while I’m sad for you (sitting there all uninformed and stuff), I’ve taken steps to make sure you catch up on all you’ve missed.  Our announcement was reported by numerous business and tech publications, and even landed uTest CEO, Doron Reuveni, on Bloomberg TV’s “Money Moves” for a live interview with Deirdre Bolton.

Check out some highlights below and, for the complete list of articles about uTest Apphance, peruse the uTest Press Room’s “In the News” page. And keep an eye out for some more major news next week! That’s what my blogging mentor, Mike Brown, calls a “teaser.”  Enjoy!
