Mobile Ocean Screensaver Copyright Violations
I don’t know if I should be upset, or flattered. I think that my cease and desist letters solve that mystery. Some of the sites I found show hundreds of downloads of our Mobile Ocean Screensaver—that’s a bit upsetting.
I am also amazed that there are 1,350 pages in google search for “mobile ocean punchkick.” This basically means that when people post illegal downloads, they don’t even pay attention to scrubbing out the company name! At they very least I expect them to have setup keyword driven links back to our site. Did they? Nope.
Other copyright violations pertaining to Flash Lite software.
We have released our Mobile Ocean ™ Flash Lite screensaver/wallpaper to Handago.com today. Mobile Ocean is the perfect cell phone screensaver/wallpaper for any marine lover. This product features seven tropical fish, four underwater scenes, and a digital clock.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) February 1, 2007 — Mobile technology is the newest media channel of advertising, say market researchers. And with over 200 million mobile phone users in America, today’s mobile phones have become capable of much more than flashy ringtones. The possibilities for creative marketing and product branding are limitless — and innovative design firms are taking notice.
Cleveland-based design firm Punchkick Interactive recently made the leap to mobile when it shifted gears from Web design to working exclusively with mobile devices.
“We saw a potential for unbelievable growth,” said Punchkick Interactive co-founder Ryan Unger. “Mobile marketing is so new that we haven’t come close to seeing its full capabilities. It’s like the Internet of the early 90s — a sleeping giant.”
And he’s not alone in his belief. This year alone, billions will be spent on mobile phone based advertising, and an increasing number of companies are recognizing the value of non-traditional marketing strategies. The recent success of viral videos on YouTube® have proven that niche marketing can be a powerful way to stretch advertising dollars and produce impressive results.
Mobile marketing can take on a number of different forms, including product-branded games, text-message campaigns and customized mobile applications.
“Mobile development can be challenging because it requires a strong grasp of programming and interface design in order to develop content compatible with different mobile phones,” added Unger. “Every phone is unique and has its own screen size and memory specifications.”
“Nevertheless,” he said, “It’s a type of marketing that, when done correctly, can create an incredible impact.”
As far as I can tell there is no way for a regular consumer to buy screensavers through their handsets. I’ve built working screensavers for my BREW enabled Motorola V3m with Verizon and loaded them using Qualcomm’s AppLoader—but I am not a regular consumer. That said, does anyone know for sure if Verizon supports Flash Lite screensavers and wallpapers for any of it’s phones? There was a great deal of talk about this at MAX last October, but it was never clarified if screensavers and wallpapers for BREW phones are a thing of the future-or possible today.
PunchkickInteractive.com is live
After several weeks of development, punchkickinteractive.com is officially live.
Punchkick Interactive is an advertising agency that works exclusively with mobile devices. Specializing in mobile technology and development, Punchkick Interactive utilizes a team of programmers and designers to create engaging mobile content. Underlying all that we do is a passion for combining fresh ideas and technical know-how with incredible design.
Founded in Cleveland, Ohio, Punchkick Interactive began as a freelance Web-development company headed by then design student Ryan Unger and his frequent collaborator, Zak Dabbas. Over time, Punchkick Interactive evolved into a mobile design firm, thereby keeping in line with the company’s objective of constantly creating within the cutting edge.
Our business relationships and the quality of our craft are possibly the two most important elements of who we are. It’s the relationships we make that fuel our creativity and keep us going—we suppose you could call it a compulsion to please. But quality of craft—that can never be compromised. Ever. We don’t do “half-finished.” And we don’t do “acceptable.” And we certainly don’t do “just fine.”
Back from MAX
This year I went to the Adobe MAX conference in Las Vegas. Everything was great (including the two poker tournaments that I placed 2nd in) but the best part was the focus that Adobe gave to mobile development and a new partnership with Verizon Wireless. Moving forward, Verizon Wireless in North America will be releasing Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW enabled mobile phones.
