    Flash on the iPhone / iPod Touch

    The-Affair.X.Iphone

    Apple fanboys pony up, cause my brand the-affair is officially the very first t-shirt brand with a mobile store, accessible through everyone’s favourite gadget. That’s right, our awesome Flash website is now available on the i’m-so-very-very-cool-but-still-can’t-play-Flash, iPhone. That’s right fanboys, you heard right - FLASH ON THE IPHONE!

    So how did we achieve this little bit of tech-magic I hear you ask? Well, actually we did very little… All you’re going to need is the VNSea client released recently, and obviously a VNSea server running on some other broadband computer that you can then control. Its a tad on the slow side too, but hey, that’s the price for the bleeding edge.

    Thanks to Kamil, our resident Flash guru :)

    Google and mobile

    There’s tonnes of buzz flying around about Google and its impending foray into everything mobile, but this little piece of news is interesting and scary in equal measure. Today they have launched a beta technology called ‘My Location‘ that uses “triangulation to provide you with approximate location information, so it will work on phones without GPS”. This is pretty big news for consumers as previously this tech was something reserved for governmental agencies and Hollywood alike.

    What’s the benefit to the big G then? Well of course if they know where you are, even roughly, then they can micro-target local ads to your phone. And with the release today of figures showing that there’s over 3.3 billion mobile accounts on our little planet and 59 countries with mobile penetration over 100 percent, the big G’s obviously not in it for the goodwill.
