Mobile Web App
Lonely Planet
The world rests in the palm of your hand
We worked with Lonely Planet to build their first iPhone web app. With volumes of information from locations all over the world, our goal was to make it about the traveler, getting them to the best places in the fewest number of steps.
In the year since its launch the app has been modified, but we are happy to see that most of our interactions are still in place.

Web & Mobile Application
Zed
Mobile content has a new name... which we can't tell you about yet
Zed is one of the largest digital entertainment companies in the world. We were asked to help them define and create a brand new product, from scratch.
From the beginning we set out to create a product like no other, based on what real people want and how they buy. The product is still under wraps, so check back soon.

Best Buy
Remixing Best Buy for mobile
Best Buy, the country's largest electronics retailer, brought us in to help out with a new initiative called Best Buy Remix, that allows designers and developers to mash up services and products based on Best Buy's massive product catalog.
Our job was to help create a variety mobile concept projects built on the Remix.

SmartyPig
Manage your savings wherever you are
We designed and built a mobile web app that helps people manage and contribute to their SmartyPig savings goals, regardless of their mobile device.
While we focused the experience around higher end touch devices like the iPhone and the Android G1, we made sure that users with less capable devices could still manage all their goals.

Snooth
Never arrive at a party empty handed again
For Snooth, a popular wine site, we created an mobile web app that allowed users to not just search for wines based on their tastes, but find wines based on complex pairings.
The result was an easy to use mobile web app with a flowery bouquet of handy information

iPhone & Mobile Web App
Cheep
Twitter on your Mobile and your desktop
We use Twitter all the time, but what we could never understand is why everyone uses a different client for desktop and a different client for mobile? Couldn't there be one client for both mediums?
We built Cheep to be an inexpensive (as in free) way to use Twitter on your mobile and your desktop using the best platform for both... the web!

Training & Mobile Web App
Telstra/BigPond
We spent a week, a full eight hours a day for five straight days, teaching the staff of Australia's largest operator Telstra and their largest Internet Service Provider BigPond everything we know about mobile.
When we returned to the States, we even designed and built them a couple little iPhone Web Apps as a token of our appreciation.
