Project description
In the middle of 2010 Samsung called for a global software developer competitionaren– creating a new mobile application for its new platform Bada. Over 2,000 developers participated in the first stage, of which 300 made it to the “short list”, and of them the winners of the competition and different categories were chosen.
The Podsurfer team, whose main field of activity is mobile application development, decided to participate in the competition and offer an application to Samsung Bada users. The decision appeared to be correct and the job was well done – the podsurfer awarded the bronze in the “Older and Wise” category.
The contribution by Flier was the development of a visual user interface and the logo-icon of the application. The task was open and specific – creating an entertaining outlook for the existing functionality. In close cooperation with the podsurfer developers, we brushed up both the general picture, as well as tiny details. Very important requirements for a mobile application are its small capacity and moderate use of the memory; to ensure that, all the pictures and icons were put through a strict optimisation. This resulted in the graphics volume used in the application – 400 kB.
The Podsurfer application can be tested in person by the users of the Samsung Wave phone: http://www.samsungapps.com
Congratulations to the podsurfer team!
"We had come to the final with our application, yet it took a new design concept and need to be internationally at top level in every detail to win. The productivity of cooperation with Flier can be assessed based on the result – a jury of experts in their respective fields acknowledged the final solution to be one of the best among the thousands of applications participating all over the world. Obviously, it goes without saying that we are most happy with the cooperation and final result."
