We’ve just added new images to our Cassini HD for iPad app. Look for the new update in the ITunes store for these and many more beautiful photos of Saturn and its moons.

Any CassiniHD users out there? The latest update is out with more than 20 new images. Hope you enjoy it!

SXSW Interactive is coming to a close, but SXSW Music is just getting started. Start planning which free parties you want to go to with our free Thinx Drinks app.

I already have the Tumblr meet-ups on my list. I hope to see you at one of them!

SXSWi has been pretty amazing (and exhausting) so far. Hope the drone swarms are clear of the area for the Tumblr meet-up.

SXSW is right around the corner and—if the robots don’t rise up to destroy us first—it looks like this year might be the busiest yet (including a few Tumblr events). My wife and I created an iPhone app called Thinx Drinks to keep track of all the unofficial parties and day shows going on and to help get around the city during the festival. If you’re coming to Austin for SXSW, it’s available free from the App Store. And let us know if you’ll be around, we’d love to meet up with you. 

staceythinx:

As some of you might know, my husband and I live in Austin. One of the great things about living in Austin is that you can take advantage of all the fun stuff that surrounds SXSW every spring. Last year we designed a mobile site to help us get around all the free parties and unofficial events that were going on and it was so helpful we thought that this year we’d share it with everybody as a full-blown mobile app. We’re really proud to announce that Thinx Drinks is now available in the iTunes App Store and its totally free!

Some of the app features:

  • Nearby feature shows all the parties and events near your current location, plotted on a map for easy navigation.
  • Browse events by date or use the searchable database to find events by name, band, or venue.
  • The My Parties feature lets you mark your favorites for quick reference later.
  • RSVP from many events from within the app.
  • Other features include social media and iOS Calendar integration. The app syncs to information stored the cloud to give you up-to-date listings.

I hope you find it as helpful as we do and hopefully I’ll see some of you around town!

So the launch of our Cassini HD app this past weekend went far better than we could have ever imagined. The response was totally unexpected and a little overwhelming. People can be pretty awesome sometimes. It gives me hope that maybe we’ll find a way to avoid the looming robopocalypse.

Keeping watch on the robot menace is pretty much a full time job around here, but if you’ve been following along you’ll know that in my off hours I have been working with my wife to develop an app for iPad called Cassini HD. Well, it is finally available in the iTunes App Store and you can download it for free today only before the regular price of $1.99 kicks in. We’ve gotten some very nice reviews so far and we’d appreciate you leaving us feedback on the iTunes store. 
Happy discovering!

IPAD OWNERS: GET THIS APP NEXT SATURDAY AND YOU MIGHT SAVE THE PLANET FROM ROBOPOCALYPSE!

staceythinx:

I’m very excited to announce that we have a release date for our new app Cassini HD. It will be available in the iTunes App Store this Saturday (Sept. 15) and it will be totally FREE for the whole first day (after Saturday it will be the regular price of $1.99). 

About the app:

While handheld and mobile devices have the power to put information at our fingertips, they can also transform how we learn and interact with knowledge. Cassini HD, the first iPad app from Thinx, harnesses that power to take audiences on a voyage of discovery to the ringed planet of Saturn. The app’s intuitive design helps users to easily navigate a collection of more than 840 spectacular images returned to Earth by the Cassini orbiter while showcasing those images in a way that is both elegant and informative.

Features:

  • Journey from Saturn itself, to its stunning rings and past more than 20 different moons 
  • Supports both portrait and landscape orientation for optimal viewing quality. 
  • Full captions expand with additional information with just a tap 
  • Alphabetical menu brings you directly to any section of interest; unique navigation map allows you to scroll easily through this vast collection 
  • Integration with the most popular social networks: Share your discoveries with friends on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter, or via email 
  • Save your favorite images to your photo roll and use them as a wallpaper on your iPad 
  • Future updates will add to this collection the latest images from Cassini as more become available.
