Hello Moto!

Err – Hello Nokia!

Just before the holidays Nokia put a Flash splash-screen onto their main site, Nokia.com. I figured they would have removed it in the next few months, since in my humble opinion it’s just an obvious hindrance. One rollover and two clicks to get me to the real front-page is just too much.

Anyhow, I bought a Motorola V3 from Bangkok. I always wanted to try something different since I’ve been using Nokia’s mobiles my whole life and the design of the V3 was appealing. And I’m glad that I tried it out. Now I can go back to my S60-powered phone and am a lot happier with it (with all the little flaws it still has),  since the interface of the V3 was just really sad.

Cannes Cyberlions – made it to the shortlist

Jul 25, 2005   //   by Tuomas Artman   //  2 Comments

We made it to the Cannes Cyberlions shortlist this year! ONE – a campaign-site for N-Gage’s upcoming title impressed the jury this year. I myself am quiet proud of the navigation which is completely dynamic and XML-driven.

Back to work

Jul 25, 2005   //   by Tuomas Artman   //  3 Comments

After a not so relaxing five weeks of summer vacation (visiting four countries and swashbuckling the finish archipelago for a week) I’m finally back at work just to find 300 unread emails, spam and nonsense excluded.

Still I’m looking forward for a exciting fall with Flash 8 on it’s way, probably only a few weeks away, since a beta of the player has already been released. Altivec-optimisations and OpenGL-based hardware-rendering for modern Macs as well as some very solid performance on the new filters and bitmap caching make be drool.

On the developer front, I’m glad to see that Grant Skinner’s interface components (formerly GLIC, now mCOM) are also finally being beta-tested and it should not take too long for them to hit the market. We’ve never really wanted to develop our own components since GLIC was on its way and looked very promising.

No GPRS, no Phone

Jul 9, 2005   //   by Tuomas Artman   //  No Comments

I promised to post pictures from my journey to the timeline. A it turned out, Cambodia Telecom did not have GPRS (no suprise there), so I was not able to post beautiful pics from one of the seven wonders of the world – the Angkor Wat temples.

From Cambodia we returned to Thailand for half a day and then flew to Singapore. It must have been somewhere in Singapore (propably the China Jump club that is shown in the latest timeline post) that I lost my mobile phone. Well, phones are cheap enough in Bangkok, but I’m sad that I won’t be able to post any more pics from my journey.
