FlyScreen – Fly baby, fly!
Last month’s MoMo TLV event introduced 6 finalist in its peer awards. One of them was Cellogic that demo their product FlyScreen. Though not the winner, I’m very excited about this innovative product. It’s one of those ideas that you think to yourself “damn! that’s an ingenious idea”.
Pop-quiz, how many times a day do you take your mobile out of your pocket to do something other than making a call or sending SMS? Zero, you say? Think again. Remember all those times you check the time with it? how about looking at it thinking you might have missed an important call or got an SMS without noticing it? not to mention it’s a semi sub-conscious way to signal someone you’re talking to (face to face) you’re not really interested in continue a conversation with him.
Well, the guys at Cellogic thought to themselves that with all that time you’re looking at your phone’s screen, you might as well see something interesting and meaningful. Their product downloads content of your choosing and display it on the phone’s screen. Users can watch news headlines, check-out RSS feeds from their favorite sites and arrange other widgets right on their mobile’s screen.
The product is still in alpha stage and currently supported only on some of Nokia Smartphones but Cellogic’s working on versions for the other usual suspect: Android, iPhone, windows-mobile and Blackberry.
