New Apple iTunes App Store Layout

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Apple 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.

Check out the new layout.

Fanbase Mobile and the Fanbase Connected Album

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Today Atlantic Records launched two important strategic projects for one of our most popular solo artists, Rob Thomas. Fanbase Mobile (for the iPhone) is a framework we have created, in conjunction with amazing development team at Gskinner.com, that is going to allow us to roll out flexible, scalable iPhone applications for all Atlantic artists.

Check out the demo video recorded by Rob Thomas.

In addition to this exciting mobile launch we also shipped our first Fanbase Connected Album. Fans who purchase Rob Thomas’ new album will be prompted to install his Fanbase Desktop application directly from the CD and will be delivered bonus content specific to purchasers of Rob’s album. Check out the Fanbase inclusion on Rob’s packaging below.

Today AgencyNet and Atlantic Records launched Fanbase Mobile, a version of Atlantic’s award winning Fanbase application for Flash Lite enabled handsets. As part of the launch Rob Thomas is showcasing the app during the Billboard Music Keynote at CTIA and he was interviewed about the app by CNBC.
