MS "Surface" reognises T-mobile handset

Take a look at this article on Microsoft's new table-top "Surface" computer with something heading towards the "Minority Report" interface we all loved. Click on the video link on the right to see a Reuters video, and watch right to the end. There you'll see a very short clip of someone putting their mobile down on the table-top, and right where they put it, a T-mobile "My Favs" menu opens up around the phone. Now whether it can REALLY do that or if it was just a "smoke and mirrors" demo thing, that's pretty cool.

Nokia N95 a sweet ride

This is far from a comprehensive review of the Nokia N95, but thought I had to say something about how great this phone seems to be! I received one today that we'll be using for a Flash Lite application we're developing, and it's a pretty darn sexy phone. The dual-direction sliding screen doesn't feel to weak as other slider phones have in the past, and the screen itself is great. Having the standard headphone jack - it's about freakin' time! I'll try and post some more feedback on the device as we get further into our project, but for any phone freak thinking about upgrading or getting into one of these, go for it.

Gone missing, but I'm still here.

it's been a while since my last post ... let's see, what have I been doing of late?

I got a Nintendo Wii over Easter ("for the kids") so there's been a lot of tennis and boxing going on at my place. I've been doing some investigation on possible mobile tie-in apps for the Wii, since the Wiimotes are using Bluetooth to connect up and transfer data, but let's be honest, I really got it to play games! Very addicitive and funny for people walking along my street who can see in my lounge room window I'm sure.

Moket has been very busy on some projects - new games and content, plus some applications for carriers which I'll post about soon (hopefully) when we can talk about things publically. One of our new games will be available in the US later on this month which we're really happy about.

We've got a new student intern working at Moket now as well. Michael Heydon (or "Donny to his mates") has been working with Moket on Flash Lite 2.x game development and soon we'll be getting him into some animation as well. Michael graduated from Qantm College here in Brisbane last year, and we're really excited to have him on board. Michael is here on our Intern program, which you can find more about here.

Well that's about all for the time being. You'll see a lot more news and posts in the coming months as I drag myself out of business and development team meetings, and back into the "marketing" side of my job :) Cheers.
