We felt very guilty to not release a free Omnidar App for april 1st. For this reason, as promised here is a gift for our android users Dildroid 1.0.5

This new version include:

* A educative splash screen that change on every launch, learn everything about the human body and it’s lovely relation with the dildroid
* Ads have been added to the splashscreen, if these ads generate income be sure we will release more feature to dildroid soon!
* Fixed minor visual issue

This is just a small release, the next one should be better, and the next next one will be awsome stay tune!

PS: We will release this version to the android Market when Mr. Google will be able to fix the market, for the last 4 days the market is really not stable and seem to be saturated :S

Yes one of the best prank application on iTune is free today, right on time for April Fools day! The best news this isn’t a joke We want the world to prank colleague with our apps, the only thing we want in return is a couple video of your pranks! And please keep these on the good taste / karma++ side, I know the Geiger counter + Made in Japan stuff prank is very tempting but it’s very tasteless…

Sadly for our android user the market isn’t allowing a temporary free price, I’ve tried to put 0.01 cent but it’s not even possible But don’t despair I’ll have good news for our android users soon!

Let’s the prank roll!

I saw a couple of comments thinking Dildroid was the antichrist and “collect user information”. This fear of the unknow might be the reason why people are affraid, so today we are going to explain all the rights needed for the Dildroid application to run on your device. After that we hope you will be able to remove your tin foil hat when using Dildroid.

So here is the list of rights required for the application:

BATTERY_STATS : This is to trigger the low battery alert…
READ_CONTACTS: This is for the button that launch your contact list in order to send a dildro-sms
RECEIVE_SMS: This is to receive Dildro-sms
WRITE_SMS: This is to allow dildroid to write a dildo sms
SEND_SMS: This is to send Dildro-sms
VIBRATE: I wonder why we request this one… Ah yes I think it was for reading mind of dildroid user and put that in our evil database of mean thing departement.

As you can see there is no internet rights so nothing leave your phone without your consent. The next release will probably contain Voip function (Vibrate over IP function) which will require internet rights. We might release a tin-hat edition only requiring the VIBRATE rights, we will see if there is a real demand for it.

Yeah I know this release was way over due… I would like to appoligies for the delay of this realease but believe me I have a good excuse. For the sake of the world education let me explain you why it took so long…

First of all the fix really only took 20 min to make, so it was not a technical issue no it’s more subtle… You see to publish stuff on the Android market you need to sign the applications, and to sign the application you need a precious key… this key is a simple file, and this precious file was located on my precious macbook which was precisely located on the floor when a god damn TV stand feel it was a good landing place to land from a 6′ drop… It look like Mr. macbook keyboard didn’t really enjoyed the stress from the TV Stand and transfered some weight on the main board which decide from now on to just not live anymore…  So here was lying my ex-precious macbook… Since the only copy of the file was on the damn thing, I needed to wait a to get a new macbook in order to retreive the key from the old hard drive… So long story short the key is now retreived and I’ll  be able to release more updates…

So here are the lessons to learn my dear cybernetic freinds:

- Always make a damn copy of this damn key…

- Never drop TV stand from 6′ in the air on your macbook…

Version 1.1 contains these fix

• Fix resolution problems for Droid, Nexus one and other high resolution devices
• Fixed some typos in the text
• Fixed the list of radar that was getting bigger on each launch

Enjoy!

Yup may 2009… that’s the only backup salvaged from the last zombie invasion… But that’s a good excuse to scrap this site and redo it…

But for those who don’t really beleive in zombie and really want to know what happend… Well let’s say that when you pay 10$USD a month for a VPS you should not rely too much on the filesystem… it look like our filesystem got corrupted and bla bla bla no backup bla bla bla i know i should have done some… bla bla bla here a old copy bla bla bla I was about to redo the site anyway bla bla bla

If you dind’t get any of the last paragraph just assume that zombies break in the server room and hate the brain of our server…

Apple finally accepted our Omnidar application! You can find it on iTune rigth now! And what about the google phone version?

Well some UFO kidnapped our development phone, so we needed to purchase a other one which drove out development a bit down… (yeah the emulator is real nice but for sensors dev it’s a real pain). Now that we figured out how to make the Samsung Galaxy i7500 work with ABD we can finish the product (which was already 90% finished but just not ready for production)

Don’t despair it will be available soon!

Dear mobidroid, are you dead?

Nooooo of course not, it’s just summer time, and here in France summer time means the world stop. Anyway our application is still pending review at Apple, they are not in France but the pending system work like it was. Come back in a week we will put new stuff so you can enjoy life in color again.

Oh and it’s seem pretty trendy to use Twitter to spam about our company should we join the buzz ? Hey let’s make a pool out of it.

Good news for the apple users, the revolutionary (and maybe Nobel winning)  Omnidar will be available also for the iPhone 3Gs platform. We just kidnapped a iPhone developer  and we will release him only if he manage porting the Omnidar for the 3Gs phone.  Since we now know the 3Gs is equipped with the necessary sensors.  Nothing stop us  from  unleashing the unlimited potential of the Omnidar on both platform!

So stay tune we are working hard to release both it on both platform (Android & iPhone)   for this sunday 21 june 2009 18h00 (GMT+1) when it’s going to be finished.
