A message from Steve Jobs about Flash. From what I’ve read on this topic, Adobe really dropped the ball with mobile Flash because of bad management chasing the bottom line.
Check out the videos on the site, best use of Augment Reality I’ve seen so far.

This Alice in Wonderland App for the iPad looks like so much fun for kids to interact with. Pop up books for the digital age.

Sonar has to be one of those simple things you see and just have to agree its brilliant. Star Wars Uncut, is just crazy! In a good way.

The @ symbol is now part of the very fabric of life all over the world and now part of MoMA’s design collection.

I’m all for reading printed matter, magazines, books and newspapers on portable devices, I’m just not sure if the old ways of flipping pages or a direct translation of the printed matter into digital form really cuts it. So the one thing that I really want is that if I’m buying a digital copy of a magazine, it has to be more that a direct translation of the printed version, it has to feel more immersive than reading a website version of an article.
There’s going to be a new skill set for designers to fill, that of creating/translating print content over to digital and for software companies to create the tools that let the designers do this without having to learn a programming language.
The Wired Table and Mag+ concept are two of the most promising digital magazines so far. Woodwing’s Content Station looks okay, but feels very clunky and cheesy, like early WYSIWYG html editors for making web pages. I’m not sure if these Sports Illustrated – Time Inc Tablet demos where created using Content Station.
Tanzaku very similar to Grid-A-Licious. I Love this retro Mac theme.

I’m not a sneaker freak, but I drooled over these Air Jordan 6 Motorsport retro edition. They are re-releasing the AJ6 at Foot Locker in March.
