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.

Monday, March 8th, 2010Brightcove Unveils Mobile Experience for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 with Atlantic Records
Monday, February 15th, 2010Today 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.
New Apple iTunes App Store Layout
Friday, December 11th, 2009Apple has slowly been pushing out updates to it’s app store today. Not all apps are benefiting yet from the new cleaned up interface, but our Rob Thomas Fanbase application was switched over a few hours ago. The layout has a lot more whitespace, larger download/buy button and multiple detail images of the application on screen at once. This update brings the app store visually more in line with new store look that was part of the iTunes 9 upgrade.
The 4G Connected Car Prototype
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
Today Alcatel-Lucent and QNX announced the 4G connected car prototype in New York. As part of the NG Connect program (an ecosystem built around 4G connectivity) Atlantic Records was proud to create a version of our award winning Fanbase platform for the music fan on the road. The car contains 4 internet connected screens allowing for an in car music experience like never before.
Check out a (shaky) video of an early version of Fanbase running in the car.
NG Connect also launched a micro site with detailed information on the program and the prototype.
Check out a video on the connected car staring yours truly.
Details on all the participants.
The press buzz surrounding the launch was great, with some standout coverage from Wired, Mashable and Reuters.
A great overview video from CNN.
As well as a great Fanbase mention.
A full press rundown can be found on the NG Connect site.
Check out the video below for an overview of the car and the possibilities that a nationwide 4G network can bring.
MAX 2009
Sunday, November 1st, 2009Last month, I attended the 2009 Adobe Max conference and wanted to share a few exciting developments at Atlantic Records in conjunction with Adobe and the Flash platform. We were nominated for a Max Award and showcased two new products, one for connected TVs and set top boxes and another for the connected car.
Below is the booth where David Brown from Agencynet and I answered questions about our award nominated mobile application, Fanbase Mobile, for the conference attendees prior to final voting.

While we’ve been working on a prototype of Fanbase for connected TVs with developer Rhett Woods for a few months now, this was the first time I got to see the app running on a device. This is on a Vizio TV running Stagecraft, Adobe’s Flash Lite implementation for the digital home. Right now connected home products are pretty hard to come by, so it was really exciting to see a working demo of our app.

I was also able to see the QNX connected car for the first time. This is another partner (along with Alcatel-Lucent) and I built this version of Fanbase for a custom implementation of Flash Lite 3.1 they have running in the car. I had seen it in emulators and on demo boxes, but there is no comparison to see the app running on a 4G network in the car.
