The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore iPad App!

Last night, my daughters and I enjoyed "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" iPad edition.... the most visually stunning iPad app for children so far.

This is certainly an awesome example of the future of how the editorial market for children is going through a revolution. This app elegantly combines wonderful story-telling, a fantastic soundtrack and engaging visual effects that will leave any children amazed.

Apples & Berries

What did you think about the recent announcement of the BlackBerry PlayBook?

It's never an easy task when you're late in the game especially when you're going head-to-head against a device that introduced an entirely new product experience, that got so much buzz, so many reviews. I also believe the game is less about hardward and more about applications and the disruptive business model of the incredibly intuitive App Store. If the PlayBook doesn't bring anything new to the table except supporting flash, it only reinforces that Apple is the true industry thought leader.

Talking apps

Two days ago, I sat down to talk to a friend who I hadn't seen in a few months (something I need to do more of). This guy is the wired type that knows it all and is always a pleasure to talk to. It's funny how, a few years ago we would have talked about what's hot in São Paulo's restaurant scene or catch up on who is doing what, especially since we have some many friends in common.


What happened was, the conversation revolved pretty much around the latest apps we've downloaded and our opinion about the brands that we think are doing a good job taking advantage of new media. It was fun.
