Baltimore iPad app makers gettin' busy
Without an iPad in hand months ago, the folks at Fastspot in Baltimore used pieces of paper to mock-up how they'd play the new word game they designed. Watch the video!
My story about Baltimore-area iPad/iPhone developers hit the paper and the web today -- check it out here. You should also take a gander at the video we shot of Fastspot, a Baltimore interactive design firm, and the iPad game it built: Jumbalaya.
Interested in another iPad app by a Baltimore company? Check out TwitterTube, by Emagine Web Consulting of Pikesville.One of the more interesting things is that there's a growing ecosystem of businesses that are sprouting up to support iPad/iPhone and other mobile apps.
For instance, Gregg Weiss, a Florida businessman, operates two Websites -- iPad App Developers and iPhone App Developers -- that links developers with companies needing someone to build the apps for them. Gregg also works closely with two companies that help market mobile apps: Appular and Appency.
I think the question that's on everyone's mind is if the iPad will turn out to be as big -- or bigger -- than the iPhone? Or will it be a moderate success?

another maryland developed iPhone game is Attack of the Dust Bunnies by Blue Omega Entertainment. We aren't really in the game making business anymore (also developed Damnation for the PS3/360/PC), but making the game for the iPhone was a ton of fun - the main issue is the game space is extremely crowded on the app store. Originally our game was $1.99, but we got many complaints it was too expensive..so we dropped it to .99...and still get complaints that is too expensive..which is just totally insane, its less than a price of a soda!
