NIKE: Zlatan Zuperfly Interactive

Nike have created an integrated Facebook application for Zlatan, this is what he gets up to when he's suspended from matches. Nike hooked up a camera to Zlatans head so this is a Point Of View game (as in the video above), as you approach the defenders you need to select left or right in real time to pass the defence. The game is pretty responsive but because of the all the graphics a bit clunky. None the less a  good use of video interaction. Play Nike's Zuperfly game here.

DITTO: Iphone App

Basically, it's better than foursquare and facebook locations because you can actually plan things for the future and where to meet friends rather than just finding out where they are. The point of the app is to know what you’re friends are up to and you can organise a quick drink or dinner in the nearest place. It could also be used to round up the common recommendations given by your friends based on their experiences to the place that you’re planning to visit. Download it now.

IPAD: To Be Used By Pilots

The American  FAA has just granted the first approval for the use of iPads instead of paper charts for informing airline pilots while on duty.  Even in an era of GPS and advanced avionics, you still see pilots lugging around 20 pounds or more of charts.Executive Jet tested the iPad in 10 aircraft flown by 55 pilots during 250 flights.

Although this authorisation applies to just one company, it is a milestone for all operators, including major airlines, because it opens the door for them to embrace the iPad. I guess that leaves more time for pilots to knock back a few more inflight drinks and look for all those damn snakes on the plane!!
