Individual project at Hyper Island, Mobile Applications 2011 in Karlskrona.

It took me 4 days to completely rethink, design and create a short case movie. The task was to choose an app that could have been done in a better way. So I did. My choice was the last.fm app.

Music: Radiohead - Weird Fishes
Sounds: Mathias Söderberg

Nicely built magazine app (do we call them appzines now?....padvertising.... padmags?) for the iPad created for BMW by Swipe Studio

Here is the video no music though while you watch unfortunately...

Here is Swipe Studios demo video for this app

Thinking of making your next iPhone App? Top this....

At this week's South Florida International Auto Show in Miami, BMW is debuting some new interactive technology that will be appearing at other shows over the coming weeks. The traditional static specification panels that appear next to all the fancy new cars at auto shows are being replaced by mounted iPads. The limited space on a show floor means that automakers can't show every available color and option combination. The iPads will allow visitors to use the same configurator found on the BMW website to see what combinations are available and build and price their own favorite. Visitors can enter their contact information for a call from a local dealer or to schedule a test drive after the show. Text of the BMW press release follows.

John (@bushwod) you sent me this ages ago but figured Id share with the world! Hilarious

I can only imaging that the production costs of adding this would be quite high and tricky when your launching a new range.... good idea though...

Who says the pictures in your catalog or magazine have to stand still?

Apple's WWDC 2010 App Wall. Watch the whole thing to see the final "effect".

Some more iPad goodness....this is pretty damn cool...

This is a video showing the build of the Welikesmall iPod wall. It was made from 20 iPods over the course of about three weeks in our spare time. Tasks included building and designing the wooden box, programming an iPhone application that runs off the Game Kit framework, hacking a USB hardware fan together, developing a Python / Django web server application, and designing a quick UI. To keep the wall constantly powered we used a Cambrionix B2 USB powered hub.

Our current iPhone Application allows for 4 different modes, a screen saver mode, a full image split mode (the controlling iPod looks for an image and then the server executes a script to split that image among all 20 iPods), a single image grid mode (the controlling iPod tells the server to give a random image to each iPhone), and a hybrid mode which displays all three. In addition, the server is always checking to ensure that each iPod is synched.

Future releases will allow all sorts of external user interaction. Stay tuned.

You can check out the actual Game Kit framework here

Just following on from my Google TV post I cam eacross this article on Read Write Web

"The app was developed on top of Nielsen's Media-Sync technology and uses the iPad's microphone to sync up with the show by listening for audio cues embedded in the show. Thanks to this, the app will also work when you are watching a time-delayed version of the show on your DVR, for example. The app will also display a limit set of information when it isn't synced with the show. For the full experience, though, users will need to use the app in parallel with the show."

Reading this I can imagin shows like C4s Seven Days making use of it to interact with the audiencein real time maybe?
