3G. WiFi. GPS. Touch-screen. And now, Mirror. The iPhone is complete.

(Los Angeles, CA) December 23, 2008 – Juice Wireless, Inc, a multi-award winning mobile social networking and multi-media technology provider, announced the release of two new humorous iPhone applications: Mirror & Vanity Mirror. A new class of ‘vainglorious applications’ that transform your iPhone screen into your very own hand-held mirror. With these apps, you always have your reflection at hand. The apps use a highly complex proprietary algorithm that instantly turns the screen black (for maximum reflection) while offering a choice of mirror frames so you don’t look stupid staring into your iPhone. Without the Mirror apps, staring into a black screen to check yourself out is just NOT as cool.

“We’ve spent almost 8 months in R&D developing technology to put a black background on your iPhone. Go ahead and stare into your iPhone with pride. Our aim is to provide millions of people with that sort of confidence in their lives," said Dan Paik, CTO of Juice Wireless and the master-mind behind the Mirror apps.

Each app comes with 9 unique frames that let you check yourself out in style. Whether you want a ‘Sleek & Contemporary’ look with Mirror or the ‘Glamour & Glitz’ of the more feminine Vanity Mirror, you can get close-at-hand assurance that you are always looking your finest. Say good bye to spinach in your teeth before that big meeting, or the smudged lip-stick before your big date.

Mirror & Vanity Mirror are available for $0.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch, or at Apple iTunes online http://www.itunes.com/appstore

Picture Messaging for iPhone ... Flutter is here

Check out the Blog- Flutter Blog

Or buy it today- Flutter at iTunes Store


Out of the blue, at around 10.49AM PDT Apple approved Flutter and we're ready to fly! (Do excuse the puns. They are intended. Otherwise, what's the point of having a name like Flutter, right?)

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Amir and I head the product team at JuiceCaster - a mobile social networking service you can find on AT&T, T-Mobile, Alltell, US Cellular, Nokia NSeries, Blackberry, and soon dozens of other places I can't talk about yet.

One day, taking a break from building the JuiceCaster app for the iPhone, we were sitting around lamenting the lack of MMS (picture messaging) on the iPhone - as do many people on the interweb: "Why has Apple omitted MMS from the iPhone?" Inevitably, as these conversations go in any technology start-up, the obvious answer was, "Who knows, but let's build it." And thus, Flutter was born. Here's the official blurb:



Picture messaging takes flight for the first time on the iPhone!

Send unlimited picture messages and geo-tagged location to any mobile phone in the world. Now, you have the convenience of sending multi-media messages (MMS) to virtually any mobile phone number in your iPhone contact book.

When creating a picture or simple text message using Flutter, you have the option to attach your location. Flutter automatically adds a link to your message so friends can instantly view your location on Google Maps!

Send to one or multiple recipients at a time. Messages are sent over Wi-Fi or a data connection. Your messages are private and contact info is not stored. Start fluttering!


As I type, we're putting up the web landing page for the app. In my next post, I'll link to a short features page and a FAQ so you can find out more.

In the meantime, you can get Flutter - for free - from the App Store, right here!
