The Sega Rally of the iPhone - Fishlabs Rally Master Pro

I cannot hide it. Fishlabs is the creator of my beloved Galaxy on Fire and they have showed in the past that they're one of the few studios that nail 3D graphics for the iDevices. They have released in the past more than average quality titles, always with great use of 3D engine. Powerboat Challenge, Toy Tanks and Burning Tires for instance.

Rally Master Pro has everything to be a great racing game. The studio has tested rally and realistic driving ideas with some sponsored apps like VW Polo Challenge 3D and Sirocco, and it seems they have improved aspects like weather and lighting which is greatly welcome. It is true that there are not many racing games with a rally championship setting so fans of the Sega classic arcade "Rally Championship" are welcome. 
Holding the gaming crown is Firemint with Real Racing (#27 game app store), and they have even released the new VW Polo GTI version. For the rally niche, Rally Master Pro is the game. Next, some videos and a nostalgic goodie. Long medium right!

Fake iPhone nano updated: A lesson learned

 

This made the news for a day some time ago. The little iPhone nano. Yesterday after the keynote I remembered about it. 
via flickr.com

In the past December all the hype was with the "imminent release" iPhone nano. I was on vacation in Spain and spotted what appeared to be a chunky iPhone. It was indeed a knock-off of the iPhone with less functions (other than the obvious). There was something remarkable about this cheap fake in the middle of that bazaar. This iPhone was tiny! I even wanted to buy it ;)

I took this picture, submitted it to flickr and send the link to several rumor sites and blogs. I thought it could be funny how this picture would be relevant with the current Google Trends. Here is a graphic where you can see the impressive increase in the second week of December. Notice that this indicates the search of "iphone nano" and not "iphone" alone.

After New Year's Eve I checked my flickr visits and I could not believe it. The picture appeared linked at the end of a MacRumors articles, the picture was used in forums and blogs for illustration purposes.
In black my flickr stats for the same period. It peaks on the 30th with 8.000 views on that day. Google's graph is not to scale, but it is only made to spot that one week of high interest. I believe the first days is when I put the word out, and later on is through referencing. 

I'm posting this to hope that I can share this kind of interesting stuff and if possible help some people out there. A lesson learned.

Final setup in Flickr
via flickr.com

I'm sharing with you one of my favourite flickr pictures that had relative popularity. This is where I blog from. Someone mentioned in the flickr comments that Jakob might not be the best desk chair. I know that and try to keep my back straight.

Now that I look at it, that Mighty Mouse looks already so outdated!
