Spotify mobile music application: experience it!

Spotify mobile music application

Have a look to this popular Spotify music application which attracts me for various reasons like unified user experience on multiple mobile platforms and clean User Interface. See how easy it is to access your favorite music on Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, iphone and other mobile phones powered by TAT.

“Spotify offers you legal and free access to a huge library of music. All you need to do is create an account and download our streaming music player.” I also like this little spotify concept animation video which you can see above is simply amazing 🙂

Few important things to consider when you design an User Interface for mobile device

  • Scale your app across multiple platforms
  • Deliver an attractive unified user experience.
  • Efficiently handle different screen sizes and form factors
  • Fast and easy navigation

Inspiring: A Peek at the Future of Interactive Storytelling!

iphone interactive storytelling book

“I was completely blown away by this video the first time through. Such a simple, low-tech, solution produces such an amazingly rich, engaging experience that’s just bursting with possibility for further creativity.
While it’s just a concept at this point, you can see how it can make a new kind of storytelling available to the masses in a way that wouldn’t have seemed possible not that long ago.” via everydayux

“It’s the hybrid book which combined iPhone and an ordinary book.  You can enjoy interactive actions there, by touching the screen or tipping the book as you read it.”

“The keyword of Phone Book is “Analog on the Digital Technology”; it combines digital value of iPhone and analogue advantage of books. This new approach will be able to apply to leaflet / catalogue for business use, art book, picture book or educational tool. It’s also possible to utilize ordinary movies / pictures instead of iPhone application.”

Adobe confirms Flash for iPhone

Adobe has confirmed it will develop a version of Flash Player for the iPhone. 🙂 finally. The news ends months of speculation on the matter. Apple CEO Steve Jobs this month said that Flash Player for mobile devices isn’t good enough for the iPhone.
“Proper” Flash “performs too slow to be useful,” on the iPhone, Jobs warned. “There’s this missing product in the middle. It just doesn’t exist,” he explained.

We believe Flash is synonymous with the Internet experience, and we are committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone,” Narayen said. “We have evaluated (the software developer tools) and we think we can develop an iPhone Flash player ourselves.”

Adobe Pitches New Flash Streaming Platform as iPhone Killer for Mobile Operators

Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3

Adobe unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a new client/server streaming media delivery platform with a new mobile profile built to Adobe’s server backend is designed to enable personalize-able user interfaces (UIs) that can be branded by operators and delivered over the air to subscriber phones.

The new mobile profile client software empowers mobile operators to monetize the UI “in the way that ringtones and wall papers are monetized,” says Anup Murarka, director of technical marketing for Adobe’s mobile and devices unit. “You can make the entire UI brandable and we think there is a revenue opportunity there. For operators, we also can elevate key data services to the top of the UI, so you don’t force users to drill down to discover hot new services.”

It’s intresting that people are talking more about mobile experiences and “The evolution of mobile has changed with the iPhone” how it can be improve more or give a another great user experiences to mobile users. Intresting! 🙂
