Audi has just released the first Car calender with…. no cars. The idea is that you buy the landscape calender and download the i-phone app, which then projects a digital car image onto the calender image when hovered over. Great idea and concept. If you have an iPhone and are a fan of Audi cars of course.

Esquire Magazine are on the lookout for Britain’s best dressed Adman (and it’s just men who will make the list, sorry ladies). They’ve already released their ten man shortlist, with the order being announced later. The names on the list are:
Constantine Chiotis (Mediacom)
Daniel Brown (Mediacom)
Jeremy Brown (Sense Worldwide)
John Hegarty (BBH)
Mike Roberts (Carat)
Nick Fox (DDB UK)
Roy Luwolt (Mediacom)
Richard Haywood (Manning Gottlieb OMD)
Sebastian Revell (Vizeum)
Vishal Burgul (Vizeum)
You can view all the photos on the Campaign website.
Personally, my vote goes to Roy Luwolt of Mediacom, but I have to admit I’m hardly inspired. Where are all the Don Drapers?
Who do you think should make the list?

The hype amongst iPad owners and Apple’s incapacity to support Flash technologies may finally be coming to an end after recent studies have revealed that a new application for jail-broken iPads can now run a version of Flash in their safari browser, called Frash.
Frash was coined and created by a company called Comex, who you may recognise as being the founders of the Spirit jailbreaker for the iPhone 3.1.3 and iPod touch 3.1.3. The idea of Frash is that it can run all Flash related programmes, games and applications bringing harmony to the Flash loving iPad owners.
However, Frash isn’t quite there yet because it’s currently not available for wide release due to the fact that it is still technically unstable for mass usage. But Comex aren’t stopping there, Frash is available at GitHub for developers who fancy tweaking and improving the software with the aim to make it stable enough for release on the market.
What are your thoughts on Frash? Do you think that it can be stabilised for mass usage? Do you think that it will solve the Flash/iPad problems? Have you played around with the software yourself?

Have you ever thought of an App that would be incredible useful, but don’t have the technological knowledge to put the idea into motion? Well that maybe a thing of the past…
According to an article published by the BBC, the days of App ignorance are finally behind us, due to Google’s release of tools that “make it easy for anyone to create programs for Android phones”.
The App Inventor was created by a group of super tech wizards at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the idea is based around the structure of Lego blocks, whereby you move the boxes of code around to make the applications.
Don’t believe how simple it is? Check it out here
What are your thoughts on The App Inventor? Have you any brilliant app ideas that you’ve been dying to get your hands on?
