News:

New: live wallpaper application "Fingerprint Live Wallpaper"

We developed and released (in 1 day, Dec 30-31, 2009) "Toast" as a result of not finding an equivalent of the "Clink-Clink" iPhone app on the Android Market - and just in time for New Years Eve.

We released 'NYC Events' on the Android Market in Dec 2009. This lists NYC Parks, Art and Music events based on data provided by NYC.gov. We submitted to the http://nycbigapps.com challenge.

We launched our first app, a game based on the framework to the Android Market in late Sept 2009. It's called 'Balance the Beer' and currently has over 150K downloads and reached #31 under casual games. Please give it a good rating on the market ;-)

Status:

Current ongoing large projects: the Places and Events (P&E) framework and Seven Wonders (7W), a 3D OpenGL game. To participate, stop by a NYC Java Meetup meeting or visit http://nycjava.net for more info.
