June 18th, 2008

Okay, so we’re yet to get our mits on an iPhone ourselves, but follow this links to see what learn10 would look like on iPhone:

Unfortunately, this is not what you see if you get learn10 from the Apple iPhone directory. We submitted our upgraded app ages ago, and have had no clue about how long it will take to add the contemporary version of Learn10 to the Apple iPhone directory. It’s interesting to go back and see the first version of Learn10.  It really has improved… and we have a new release imminently!

UPDATE:

Good news! The apple directory now has the latest version of Learn10:

As you know, we are seeking brand sponsors for learn10. A brand sponsor would have the following options:

  • Brand appropriate colours & design of the widget surface (skin & style)
  • Learn tab (homepage ) text advert or static 234×60 advert - (no moving images)
  • Listen tab - introduction sound from the speaking avatar allowing free use of this service to users. Blue space behind the speaking avatar as well.
  • Speak tab InCall advert - allowing free use of this service to users

Some examples of what sponsored content might look/sound like:

Sponsored avatars can be produced from any photograph, so can tie in closely with personality based advertising campaigns:

We will also be able to offer ‘widgety ads’ - these are any format of online advertising containing brand sponsorship and learn10 content. The advert will show learn10 content to anyone who is a learn10 member. To anyone else, it can look like an ordinary advert. Widgety ads will be available via our affiliate scheme:

As our visitors may well have noticed, we don’t yet have a professional design for our site, or logo. The priority has been the ‘proof of concept’ ie getting the widget out there to see if it’s something people will want to use. Now it’s time to think about the design.
