“For obvious reasons Google has long-trumpeted the notion that brands should create a mobile optimised site first before developing a costly iPhone app”.
Sally Shearman @ The Wall muses on the death of native apps.
RealBeat - sample your life, process and produce original tunes. Looks and sounds like fun.
AR T-shirt - why not stand very still whilst other people play a game on your chest?!
My friend, Willem, uses a mobile app to allow his live, improvised drum & bass act Reboot to be ‘conducted’ with image-mapped projections. Sounding pretty tight too.
CEO of Mobile Roadie offers some advice on using push notifications in mobile applications. It’s a bit iPhone-centric (and iPhone notifications are very limited) but it makes a good case for why pushed messages from apps can actually be quite useful and not a blanket spamming of subscribers. It’s all about location.
Music app maestros Mobile Roadie have created an iPhone app for live music venue, KOKO. Uses QR codes in the venue to unlock goodies.
Tag your friends in photos via Viewdle and upload to a variety of social networks. What’s really interesting about this is the facial recognition. It should begin to spot your friends automatically. A little scary, but also kinda cool.
What a neat idea. Picks up on my favourite themes for mobile developments - keeping it simple, and considering user context. Just a shame it’s not hit Android yet.
Kiss Kube app
Very impressed with the Kiss Kube iPhone app. Not just because it’s elegantly rendered, with a simple and intuitive interface, but because it’s re-introduced me to a Radio station I’d forgotten all about.
Back in the late 80s, I lived in a small village in the Cotswolds with not much going on (except for skateboarding, underage drinking and the occassional house party). One of my friends was able to pick up Kiss on his little radio/tape deck by angling his ariel just right out of his bedroom window and a gang of us would gather round his house in order to listen - taking blank tapes and trying to mix tracks with carefully-timed pause/record button business. Kiss introduced to me a love of dance music at a young age, but after it became legit, my interest dwindled and it seems I wrongly assumed it would start playing rubbish.
That was until a few days ago, when I downloaded the Kiss Kube app to see how it compared to the other radio player applications out there. I was surprised to find shows from the likes of DJ Hype (hard-steppin’ Drum & Bass pioneer), Fabric resident DJ, Joe Ransom and trancey/prog house hero, John Digweed. Since downloading this app I’ve listened to little else than Kiss’s listen again shows, and might even consider changing my DAB radio’s default.
