And breathe…

Monday, March 29th, 2010

It’s been a hectic few months here at Mentor with barely enough time to work on client projects let alone attend to our blog. We’ve been putting our web development skills to good use creating websites for several new clients, if our schedules anything to go by then it looks like the recession is very much over!

We hope to be showing off several new client websites soon but in the meantime I’ve just seen this fantastic viral game spoofing the BA strike.Willie Walsh

It’s a great example of opportunistic, attention grabbing fun by the agency (T-enterprise based in Scotland) and I’m sure it’ll send plenty of work their way.

For further info on the ways in which your business could make use of flash games, 3D flash and viral marketing, pop us an email we’ll be only too glad to meet up for a hot beverage of your choice.

Mentor Digital’s view of the iPad

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Apple-iPad-001So it’s finally landed, the most talked about gadget of the last year, decade, millennia even; Apple’s iPad, the most hyped invention since our ingenious early relatives made a rock round and called it the “wheel”. Web developers may bemoan it’s lack of flash (more on that later), snap-happy users the lack of a camera, and everyone who’s busier than they have any right to be the lack of multitasking, but at Mentor Digital we think that this might just change the way the world thinks about the web. The Apple iPad adds new meaning to accessibility, as all iPhone owners know it’s simply easier, faster and way less effort to check that film time or browse your hotmail through the gloriously slick interface than waste valuable time waiting for a desktop to start. Add into the mix a screen big enough to really read content or tick off the shopping list at ASOS and I simply can’t remember why I might need the desktop in the first place.

Yes the iPad just combines or mimics the functions of other technology and is still hobbled by not supporting Flash on websites* but as Stephen Fry pointed out in his Guardian blog, “iPad 1.0 is a John the Baptist preparing the way of what is to come, but… is still fantastic enough in its own right to be classed as a stunningly exciting object” I couldn’t agree more.
