New iPhone promotion with AR

Having fun with your benefit

Mobile Art Lab has released a new iPhone app called, "iButterfly" using the recent technology of AR (Augmented Reality) and motion censer. It seems to be on progress of connecting to campaign but we'll see what's next later on. See more, just simply click the above image and check their web site.
You can even get in from iTunes store and download as for free (by the end of March 2010?), try test it out anyway.

iButterfly, has basically pretty simple feature, once you open up the app and you have chance to see and catch different kinds of beautiful shapes and colors of butterflies, it reminds of my youth time having fun with my friend trying to catch the butterflies and my friend's head for teasing.
The point of catching butterflies are also benefit for our needs, it can be a coupon of something, somewhere.
If you go different city, you might also have opportunity to see other types of them, meaning of obtaining many coupons, news, etc.

Eventually, you are able to restore them on your account and trade with your friends, this is actually nicely done!
as I said at beginning, it still on progress, so I'll keep update it.

I'm worried that users accidentally throw their iPhone when catching butterflies so might be better to add it as one of the caution.

CSS3 can be great help for 2010?

Use it for mobile for now

Since recent younger generation and beginners seem to start switching to smart phones, meaning we finally see its wave is arriving here in Japan also. The point of the stage might be that we, as developner, need to consider how to attract those users by recent technology and explaining how it is useful for having better lifestyle.

Obviously, kids in here still are addicted to casual mobile phones of course, see bottom Qpod. tied up docomo keitai. However, some are getting tired of extremely slow response after pushing button gives awful usability due to built-in tons of features in advance to show off. Besides the features, I can truly understand of decorations so better to keep this idea as good point. 

Negatively, iPhone, for instance, currently doesn't support adobe flash environment due to causing some issues according to the comment from Steve Jobs of Apple, Inc. CEO. Whether supporting or not,  I'm not going to dig about the topic so it might be next discussion anyway, but point is what the substitutions for flash environment is, since flashlite became such a famous in mobile market, attractiveness still needs to remain. Then, what? those below new features might be great help for.   

Adopting css3, gradually getting popular, is supported still by Safari as main browser, can be new, or I'd say, temporary but outstanding "hero" for now, mostly for start phones. Animation, for example, carries some possiblities of taking new stage for showing mobile pages interestingly and even possible to cause huge impact, up to how it transforms.

HTML5, this is no explanation.
if you see this, you cannot close your beautiful month.  http://9elements.com/io/projects/html5/canvas/
So what we should do, as developer, we still chance to display those impressions, besides wishing flash for iPhone is coming in. 

Those are very cute anyway.
