I certainly hope that you include features of iOS 8 in there. Should allow for a lot more functionality. And while you're at it, smack your developers for getting so far ahead on Android.
Just kidding. I know the Apple Store gauntlet can make getting updates out a bit slower than one would hope.
I finally had a chance to set up my Almond+ tonight after work. It was a breeze once I got into the swing of things. Everything worked perfectly from the beginning. It even had the latest update built right in. Cool beans! The biggest issue was setting up my TiVo Wireness N adapter. Since the Almond+ doesn't yet support WPS, I had to hook it to my old Mac Pro and log onto it, reset to factory settings and then it logged onto the 5Ghz network without any trouble at all.
It set up my first remote device, first time. And the iPhone app just made my life a lot easier!
All in all, I'm very happy I stuck in there and waited for my Almond Plus. Very nice little matching. I look forward to some updates. And with Apple revealing their HomeKit next week, I'll be quite interested to see their solution vs Almond's, with some hope that they might actually work together.
