App in development - Blu-ray Forum

iceman · 01-07-2008, 02:12 AM

An iPhone/Android/etc handheld App for the site is in the works, a simple beta version should be available Q1 2012.

Planned features:
- You will be able to keep your collection "with you"/on your handheld both online and offline. When you are online/connected to the Internet it will sync your collection
- Simple displays of news, reviews and the latest deals
- Simple search
- Simple movie info page

The App will be 100% free.

With the new software update, iPhone users can add 'webclips' to their home screen. I read the following instructions and thought it would be nice to have a blu-ray.com webclip icon.

I would definitely sport a sweet blu-ray logo on my "front page", and if its really sweet maybe even on the bottom panel

I trust the webmasters judgement on style, if they are so kind to ablige. :-)

Create a WebClip Bookmark Icon

iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.

To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.

To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.

The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.

Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

I worked on an icon for it.

Feel free to use it if you wish!

mike79 · 01-17-2008, 12:37 AM

I love that new feature. Now all I have to do do is push an icon and I am here. Would love a call blu icon though

monkeytap · 01-17-2008, 01:52 PM

next question being......has anyone who could do this read this thread?

mike79 · 01-17-2008, 01:58 PM

don't know, but it sounds pretty easyfor them to do

I Bleed Blu · 01-17-2008, 02:06 PM

Yes this would be great as I already have Blu-Ray.com linked on my iPhone homepage! A nice icon would be great!

just tried it out and works as stated, thanks a lot iceman!!! its definitely a lot better than the default preview.

iceman · 01-17-2008, 10:22 PM

cool

york weir · 01-18-2008, 04:17 PM

I like the functionality of it but I don't like to clutter my main screen. I actually put links I wanted on the second panel and left the first alone.

I must say the GPS thing sucks. Sitting at home I wasn't even near the circle.

Not too many right now. I think the product will really take off after Apple decides to put a Blu-ray player in it.
