There is a new article on Adobe.com talking about the success of the Connected Car project by Alcatel-Lucent and QNX software. The article focuses on the development platform QNX has created for automobiles using Flash Lite, and mentions the success Atlantic had porting our Fanbase application to the platform. There is also a short quote by yours truly. A great project to be a part of and continued success to QNX.
Today Brightcove announced the availability of their platform on smartphones powered by Adobe’s upcoming Flash Player 10.1 for mobile devices. With some help from our video and studio team we were able to update Kidrock.com and Shinedown.com to work with the new player, as well as creating a mobile version of our studio website Studio1290 using Brightcove’s new mobile video player. While the technology is still in beta, we at Atlantic are really excited about the possibilities of this new distribution method.
Lukas Mathis has created a really nice iPhone mockup tool in Flash. This web based tool lets you create wireframes for iPhone apps by dragging and dropping simple components onto a phone and sharing the url. You can create final pieces that look like either illustrations or sketches. A nice tool for simple mocks when a napkin just won’t do. Check it out here.
A great article from Strangely Dim on how to backup voicemail messages from the iPhone simply, with no additional apps, and no Jailbreaking.
1) Backup your phone in iTunes
2) Run a simple Terminal script (copy and paste)
3) Wait a few seconds and all of your voicemails are converted to .amr files. The one trick is giving the script a minute or so to run, I kept running it over and over without waiting for it to terminate on its own. Patience!
The script you need to run is here:
pushd ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup ; for I in `find . -name *.mddata -exec grep -la “#\!AMR” {} +` ; do cp $I $OLDPWD/`basename -s mddata $I`amr ; done ; popd
