Everything we've made so far

Nerd Attack turns four in March. Our portfolio page has 81 entries, about 65 different apps, and most of them are on Nokia phones. Here they all are in one place.

It’s the end of the year, and Nerd Attack turns four in March. Our portfolio page has 81 entries now. Count the apps we did on three or four platforms only once and it’s about 65 different apps, and most of them are on Nokia phones. That’s what happens when your first break comes from Nokia … so here’s the lot, in one place.

For Nokia

Our first job with Nokia, back in 2009, was designing topApps, the Ovi Store app that went out preloaded on Nokia phones around the world, and we did the update in 2011. Then came the preloads: IS Mobile and Makansutra for SingTel’s Christmas in 2009, five apps for the N8 launch in Malaysia in 2010, Virtual Malaysia, a tourism app for the same launch, and a Sky News video app for the N8’s launch in Australia.

Some were for Nokia itself. The Symbian Anna Updater was part of Nokia’s push to get Symbian owners onto Anna, which was announced in April 2011. App Judgement was for judging Calling All Innovators 2011, Nokia’s developer contest, which had over 800 entries from 57 countries. There’s a Nokia Care app, a SISTIC service for Ovi Maps, and two NFC projects in Singapore in 2011 … One day out on the Circle Line for SMRT, around the time SMRT and Nokia put NFC tags in its stations, and a Bras Basah Bugis trail with the National Heritage Board.

News, a lot of news

News readers are the biggest group by far. Most of the Malaysian papers are in here, the NST, The Star, The Sun, Berita Harian, Harian Metro, Sinar Harian and malaysiakini, plus our own Headlines for Malaysia, Singapore and the UK. The NST and The Star have been through MeeGo, S40 and Windows Phone 7 with us. We also did four of Fairfax’s papers in Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAtoday.

Radio, magazines and guides

Media Prima’s radio stations are here, Fly FM, Hot FM and One FM, and BFM. So are the magazines, Juice and The Guide for Catcha, and MINT, a Chinese food magazine.

Then the guides … restaurants, bars, wine, deals, property, rooms for rent, travel advisories, subway maps and a taxi dialer. A few of them only ever got as far as a design, like the Dubai taxi app.

KLTraffic, Sophie Cam and the N9

KLTraffic and Sophie Cam are ours. For the N9 there were Action Cam, FileSink, which is a Dropbox app, and Monstar, and Right Here! is a little Android app that sends your location to a friend by SMS.

Since July

Since July we’ve also been designing for the telcos. For DiGi we designed an account app for Windows 8, months before Windows 8 came out at the end of October … your bill, your usage and DiGi Rewards, with a live tile that flips over to show how much credit or data you have left, and a toast when you’re close to your data cap.

For DiGi’s CallerTunes we mocked up an iPhone app to browse the charts, preview a tune and buy it. And for Maxis there’s Push, a proof of concept on the iPhone where you subscribe to content, free or paid, and it gets pushed to your phone every day.

Count the platforms and it’s Symbian, MeeGo, S40, Windows Phone, Android, iOS and now Windows 8. Most of it is still Nokia, but this year more of it moved to Android and the iPhone, with Tap to Order and KLTraffic.
