Little World Gifts - 3D gifts app sneak preview

[LWgifts]

Hello all,

I'm part of a team here in Liverpool (UK) developing an iPhone app around 3D virtual gifts. We hope to launch in early December, but just thought you might like an early preview of what we're doing.

We're going to give some people early access to the app in mid-November, so it'd be great to see who's interested!

Bascially, we're describing Little World Gifts as "a boutique store full of festive curios and trinkets to surprise, delight and amuse during the festive season".

The free Little World Gifts iPhone App lets you browse a range of gorgeous, handcrafted, 3D, interactive digital gifts, and send them to your friends. And of course, it wouldn't be Christmas if you couldn't play with your presents too :-)

If you're a bit of an iPhone geek, you might also be interested that we're gonna be doing some cool stuff with in-app purchases, push notifications and Facebook integration too.

It'd be great to know what you think, and if you've got any questions. And what Christmas gifts would you like to see in the app?!

Some cool recent coverage of LWG that you might like a look at!

The Next Web is the first to have a proper play with the app (http://thenextweb.com/appetite/2009/11/25/world-gifts-brings-virtual-gifts-iphone/).

And TechCrunch has a few thoughts (http://eu.techcrunch.com/2009/11/26/little-world-gifts-to-bring-virtual-gifts-to-the-iphone-just-in-time-for-christmas/).

It'll be in the App Store very soon - sign up at http://www.littleworldgifts.com to be the first to know when it goes live.

The app's out today (http://www.itunes.com/app/littleworldgifts), and Macworld (http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsId=28032) has all the gossip!

Would love to hear what you think!

The Valentine's update to the free Little World Gifts (http://littleworldgifts.com) app has just gone live! We got some great feedback on our Christmas store, so we've taken it all onboard and now there are new gifts, free gifts and...

★ improved gift tracking and delivery monitoring in the all new 'Journal'
★ an improved 3D environment, so your trinkets look more gorgeous
★ new gift interactivity including shakeable gift sounds
★ fewer Facebook prompts, so more fun
★ improved, prettier menus, so it’s easier to navigate the store or find and send your gifts

Get it now in the App Store! (http://itunes.apple.com/app/little-world-gifts/id331738352)

Our Valentine's Rose is now free in honour of the big day, so there's no excuse for forgetting that special someone! Just don't tell them what a bargain it was ;-)

Okay, not really...we've not had chance to make an all-singing, all-dancing iPad-native version of Little World Gifts yet, but here's our first look at the LWG iPhone app scaled up on Apple's latest creation!

We think it looks really cool already, but would love to hear if there are any features you'd like to see when we do make a version of the app designed especially for a bigger screen.

What do you think?
