Intro Thing: Create stylish character intro videos on the iPhone

Tokyo, Japan – 3909 LLC is pleased to announce the August 24th release of Intro Thing, a unique new video app that combines filmed motion, momentary freeze frames, and music to create slick character introduction videos. Using techniques seen in movies like “Snatch”, “The A-Team”, “Three Musketeers”, and more, Intro Thing generates stylish introduction sequences that can be easily edited, previewed, and shared with others directly from the iPhone.

Seen the movie “Snatch”? How about “The A-Team” or “Three Musketeers”? Remember that cool freeze-frame character introduction at the start of these movies? Fist flying through the air, then *BAM* freeze-frame! It’s Brad Pitt!

Intro Thing uses the same techniques, combining filmed motion and momentary freeze frames, to create short videos introducing people, pets, objects, or anything of choice.

Focused and Easy to Use:
There are plenty of video apps for the iPhone that are packed with features, filters, and options. Intro Thing is different in that it’s designed to do one thing well and its interface is streamlined to make this task quick and easy. Simply tap the screen while filming to mark the freeze frame moments. After filming, select the music, style, and enter a name and alias for each character. The intro can be played back instantly at any time. For more control, users can adjust the exact frame for each character or draw a highlight to separate them from the background. Characters can be added or rearranged and the final video can be shared with friends and the world on YouTube or Facebook.

Not Just A Toy:
Intro Thing is a lot of fun to use, but it also offers real utility. Starting a new softball team? Promoting a band? Out with friends at the bar? Attending a wedding? Impressed by the entrees at an expensive restaurant? Intro Thing captures these people and events perfectly in a way that’s more interesting than a slideshow or captioned pictures.

Stylish:
An artistically-driven app like Intro Thing wouldn’t be worth much if the intro styles aren’t any good. Intro Thing includes 3 awesome intro styles out of the box and new downloadable styles (premium and free) are available weekly from within the app.

Release Info:
Intro Thing will be available worldwide starting August 24th for $0.99 during an introductory week sale. On September 1st, the price will rise to $1.99 (USD). Supported languages are English and Japanese.

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...

Mad, bad, rad! The craziest extreme sports ever

While extreme sports often seem like masochistic thrill-rides for musclemen and daredevils, they’re not all about brawn. Skateboarding, BMXing, free running, you name a crazy, adrenalin pumping sport and the likelihood is you’ll find someone with a Lumia in-hand. Maybe it’s the smartphones’ creative design or the crazy colours. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, extreme sports people love to think outside (cartwheel over and jump) the box. To see for yourself, prepare to marvel at the most imaginative sports ever invented. And, please, do NOT try these at home… Human Slingshot Well, this does what it says on the tin. Think bungee cord, a hill, an 8ft jump, a willing victim and a big lake. A quad bike and a bungee cord tug you and your dinghy down the slope and over the jump; the bungee whips the dingy away, and you’re in the air! Definitely not for the weak of heart, but still the closest you might ever come to flying. Train Surfing When waves just don’t cut it for you anymore, you...
