I have been playing with some very awesome tech for the past few weeks now and I must say it keeps getting better and better!  This awesome tool is called Elips Studio, basically it allows you to use Action Script 3.0 and MXML to build applications for a whole bunch of mobile devices.  So I went ahead and did a quick little test and created an fps test app to see how easy it would be to push it out on a bunch of platforms…  In this case I did it with the iPad, iPod, Droid (Android) and an HTC windows mobile phone.

Yes I know it’s far from the best picture in the world, I never said I was some sort of photographer or something…  Erhm, but yes, as you can see it’s on each of the platforms and Elips studio made the whole process pretty painless, I mean seriously all I did was select from a drop down and hit “build”…  No fooling, that easy!  Okay, well I had to change a few settings but that’s because each platform needs different things (I freaking hate certificates!).

Few things you will notice though, first that on the iPad the app is super tiny, that’s just because I forgot to set the proper size, also you will see a funky plastic case looking thing, that is my IPod…  The app I am running try and ignore it, the fps test is kinda off, I was just doing some random stuff…

I like this picture because the fps for the IPad reads “infinity” LOL, not even sure how that happen   Maybe the IPad is just that powerful, idunno.

Anyways, that’s all for now I suppose, all I can say is Elips is an amazing tool!  If you are familiar with Action Script 3.0 and MXML there really isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t be using it.  I mean come on people currently the beta is free for commercial use!  I’ll have more to say about this amazing product soon, but for now just look at how awesome my photos  are
