Our home! Sigh!
Home needs moon! Mission? Tilt & roll to catch the moon! Easy? Did you realize that egg shape?

Please, consider not to fall! Otherwise home might be swallowed by the singularity…

iPhone 4G Magic, iPod Touch 4G Magic – The Next Big Spec

December 4, 2009 in Apples

iPhone 4G Magic, iPod 4G Touch Magic

iPhone 4G Magic, iPod 4G Touch Magic (click on image to enlarge)


Speculating: Was the Magic Mouse only the beginning?
Looking at the picture above you will discover 3 things with iPhone 4G Magic:
A. The backside looks similar to Magic Mouse Touch surface. Assuming the next iPhone and iPod Touch will have a seamless Magic Mouse Touch surface supporting gestures this could give additional control in games, maybe even replacing usage of fingers with the touch screen if necessary.
B. The camera is centered. Why? Because of AR (Augmented Reality). It’s technically more optimal. Is Apple going to support high-end AR on the iDevices natively? Thinking about this makes me shiver from joy. I’ve got a sack full of ideas just waiting for it.
C. The iDevices are going to have an HD Video Cam and 5MP Photo Cam. Crazy!
D. Battery life doubled again. Thank you!
E. Larger Display resolution. 960×640 with higher ppi?
Is it iPhone Magic or iPod Magic on the pic? I can’t determin that. Actually, I wish they would deliver just one(!) model. One affordable phone-enabled device with cam! I would prefer this instead of the other stuff (DSi, PSP, Cell Phone) giving to my kids, wife and for sure to myself :-) . More comfort, less electronic waste. If Apple isn’t going to make this happen. Maybe Google should. This would be definitely an USP for a future Google Phone: the All-in-One-Device, affordable and replacing all other devices! Hey google, you could still make a lot of money by selling additional value through software. Don’t be evil, think different!

egging – don’t drop the egg

November 24, 2009 in egging, games, Unity3D

egging - don't drop the egg

egging - don't drop the egg

egging – iPhone Game
The game is available at:
http://itunes.com/apps/egging

Although the gameplay is super simple egging is still really challenging. You won’t survive for very long. That’s why time is measured in milliseconds. egging is for these moments much too short to start any other activity and fits well into these little breaks you definitely need before getting back to work. Yet addictive it takes just a little bit of your time. It’s perfect when waiting and I realized that it can give you kind of a Zen mood due to it’s need of concentration, focusing and repeating (although this esoteric thing was not intended).

So what is it?! I know this will sound weired at first but did you ever try to balance an egg on a fork? On chopsticks? A knife? I would not advise doing so under real world circumstances you might end up with a slimy mess. Here is your chance doing it virtually and even compete against others via world highscores or against friends (AGON online).

Simulation of real world physics is very realistic, means balancing the virtual egg is quite similar to balancing a real egg. On startup you will find a short instruction just in case. But honestly, I don’t think you will need it. Have fun! You will meet me in the leaderboards.

And hey, I forgot to mention. Level “SPOON” gives you the possibility to combine egging with real-world-body-activity, your own creativity and social context. Figure out some rules with your kids?! Like: make it to the next tree and back or walk on the curbstone. But don’t drop the egg. This level’s rules are up to you.

INSTRUCTION

BASICS
Holding your device parallel to the ground and checking if the menu is nicely aligned makes sure you have a good starting position. Choose a level and balance the egg.

HIGHSCORES
Before being able to enter highscores you have to login with your AGON account.

RULES
Don’t drop the egg! This applies to all levels.

Level spoon: Invent your own rules for parties and other social context. Very good for playing with kids. Timer will be stopped by tapping on it or dropping the egg.

Level fork: balance with fork as long as possible.

Level knife: balance with knife as long as possible.

Level chopsticks: balance with chopsticks, stay on top for 20 Seconds.

AWARDS
You can earn 3 awards. Bronze feather with chopsticks, silver feather with fork and golden feather with knife.

Ultimate iTunes App Store Beast

November 4, 2009 in games

iTunes App Sync Screen

iTunes App Sync Window


The App Store is overwhelmed and overcrowded by the sheer amount of apps. The Appstore would be easy to use with less Apps. Does anyone want less apps? Don’t think so. But Apple must improve here otherwise inventive developers will loose interest as things get unpredictable and developers more and more disappointed. As a developer I wouldn’t want to work for weeks or months developing apps and then never get the chance to make money just by not getting listed on the front pages. One hypothetical example: after submitting my app I only have esoteric control over my app appearing in the charts. Most likely it will appear on chart site 30 or worse because it’s very difficult to sync release date and approval date, actually it’s a PIA. Imagine your business homepage listed in googles search ranking on site 30. Another weird thing are applications getting listed as recent for many weeks. That’s weird as charts get refreshed hourly. Why can this happen? And why did Apple did only a cosmetic surgery with the recent iTunes update? There can only be one reason: they work on the ultimate iTunes beast. I wish my dreams will come true.
