Having a seizure..

Yeah someone is seriously going to have an epileptic seizure outside the store. Good idea but I'm worried...

 

[APPLENEWBIE]

My God... It's full of Apps!

Dave? Dave?

A 2009 Flying Apps Odyssey

I thought it was an update of 2001!

Howsabout a dance mashup of Thus Spake Zarathusta

They should make an iPhone app that does the same thing.

That would be cool

 

[jmann]

This display is brilliant.

 

[Limegrntaln]

Looks to me like there are a few missing. I dont see the facebook app or the Sports Illustrated app.. They need an update already

 

[DUSTmurph]

Could that giant iPhone possibly be apples new netbook?? sitting right out in the open for everyone to see????

hahaha....just kidding

 

[JackSYi]

These windows displays are great.

 

[KingYaba]

So is this supposed to be the human equivalent of a fly light trap?

 

[zedsdead]

and a screensaver

It would be a cool screensaver with photos, although much slower. Having the pictures fly from the background to the foreground would be cool.

 

[NoahK17]

Loops every 4 seconds. Would be better if it went through all million apps that are currently available...

 

[AppleNewton]

WOW, my son did something very similar with the pictures on mis dell.
but instead he had pictures stop while others went flying by.
Thats pretty amazing apple programmers can compete with refreshman animation students

well considering apple has great connections anyway; Pixar animators and all these agencies in the area.

id reckon its a bit different then throwing together a simple animation structure; but Itd be better off a tad slower and atleast a bit wider or horizontal if anything ...i get that its an iphone display, just seems to confined.

but very cool set up actually

 

[Shasterball]

Any one know if these displays are in NYC too? I assume they would have one at the 5th Ave store.

 

[twoodcc]

wow. amazing

 

[NT1440]

Looks to me like it may have been put together using that "core animation" stuff that allowed for those cities of album covers. Same tech, different application of it.

Thats just my uneducated eye tho.

 

[arnette]

America: the land of "please don't offend anyone". Seriously? People are going to get upset over a colorful window display.

I believe the land you are thinking of is the UK.

This flying App Icon animation is soooo beautiful. a really good eye catcher!

 

[JohnStrass]

Wheres my flying toaster?

and a screensaver

I was hoping the flying apps would be a port of my favorite Flyin Toaster (and Movin man).....


Ohhhh I mis 8.6

Wow, are you really this simple? Do you think apple has programmers sitting around making stuff like this up? You should have your son take his Dell and apply for a job at the ad agency who dreamt it up.

Myself, this kind of meh, but it does get the point across that Apple has one heck of a lot of apps...

 

[michael.lauden]

wow. amazing

why is everyone still amazed by this.

 

[TwinCities Dan]

Talk about an eye-catching display, very cool indeed.

 

[Ericatomars]

That's pretty awesome, I must admit... The Apple store in Chicago has huge Apps hanging from the window I believe

 

[Matt J]

The Apple Store in the West Edmonton Mall (Edmonton, AB, Canada) has the same thing, but the back screen is a poster and the iPhone is the only animated element. A bit easier on the eyes...

 

[101X]

I just saw it today in the apple store i go to. it is cool!

 

[screwfilms]

Yeah, but not @ 5th ave (That I've seen, at least. . .)


But there's one @ 14th & 9th. . . like 3 weeks ago.

/me was WICKED surprised to see this make the page. . . but it's still pretty cool
