They're still trying to get you to be excited about their stuff, but they try to meet you in the middle by giving those who are interested the opportunity to dig into some details. That's how you market to nerds.
Let's say this has been by far the #1 app request for the past year, and the reason you've built it is literally because it's what people have been asking for. And as a team, you're actually excited to ship it after months and months of development.
Really curious how else to phrase it? Without sounding immature or unprofessional ("it's here WOOT!") -- or too self-absorbed ("Drum roll please...").
Which both annoys me because you are telling me how I should feel and it's a new feature what other emotion are you hoping for in a customer.
It's seems ok because everyone else is doing it but it'll lack the sincerity that people respond to.
However, from its initial release, the community has been asking us to also make Motion Stills available for Android. We listened to your feedback and today, we're excited to announce that we’re bringing this technology, and more, to devices running Android 5.1 and later!
This sounds perfectly normal.
Genuine answer:
The version used in the motion stills press release already sounds rather self-absorbed to my ears. Might be cultural (non-US, non-English), just like everything that follows.
Compare "We listened to your feedback and today, we're excited to announce" to "Today we release the Android version, implementing the #1 feature request we received".
The latter sounds less personal, but nobody ever listened to "my" feedback on such things. "Your (plural) feedback" is always in aggregate, and unless you're talking to your database of customer sentiment, it's as unpersonal as can be, it just hides that fact better through linguistic ambiguity.
> And as a team, you're actually excited
Every 3 years old is excited to show off their paintings to their parents.
Except for a few, everybody knows that you're excited about shipping things. But since we're customers and not parents, barely anybody cares. Those who do are probably your team members' parents.
tl;dr: Highlight the product, the team if you want, their hard work. Leave out the excitation (nobody cares) or how you listened to "you, the user".
