We presented the Spotify mobile app for Android at the Google IO developer conference yesterday. What you see is work in progress and not the final product. We’ll put some finishing touches on the graphics as well as tweaking the code.

A wee bit more info can be found in our blog: Spotify mobile demo at Google Android I/O.

Bambuser post-patching dropped frames

February 24, 2009 by Rasmus, tagged bambuser, startup, technology and video

Today the Swedish video-tech startup Bambuser announced a really cool thing – frames dropped during broadcast are patched in a post-step, providing stutter-free on-demand/offline video. From the announcement:

In order to keep you as close to real-time as possible we drop a few frames here and there which often still allows you to get a good video - even in poor conditions. However, in areas with very poor network or when loosing the connection every now and then, this has compromised the flow and quality of the on-demand video.

The new beauty; We now store any dropped frame or audio that can’t get through while you’re live and give you the option to complete your video with this data immediately after your live broadcast. This allows us to keep latency at an absolute minimum while also providing you with a perfect video when watching on demand!

A new advert from SAS giving me a feeling of Lost in Translation. I would really like to see SAS, which by the way is a brand I really respect, perform a spin-off of the wonderful intro to Catch Me If You Can.

SAS would like some feedback of what you think about this advert. (The fields are (from top to bottom): your comment, name and email)

Shot in Tokyo last month.
Soundtrack: “Bibo No Aozora” by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
There is also a longer version available.
