Splendid are pleased to share our latest project for Tesco, this time its a new Tesco Phone Advisor application that will be user tested in-store over the coming months. The app showcases a snapshot of Tesco's Pay monthly and Pay as you go phone range and allows people to register interest for more information and the latest deals. Its planned that future versions of the Tesco Phone Shop application will allow the purchase of their full range of phones, SIMs and Broadband from the kiosk.

The design of the touch-screen application is based on the Tesco Touch Screen Guidelines also developed by Splendid and uses Microsoft WPF as the user interface technology

Thanks to all the hard work from the team at Splendid over the last year we've been lucky enough again to emerge as a winner in the FastTrack EMEA 500 as one of the fastest growing technology business in Europe. Its great news for us which we hope to build on year on year. We'll find out where we came in the list of 500 companies on the 25th November at the awards ceremony at Arsenals Emirates Stadium.

So we've done it again, Thanks to Muse and Muse management and the Splendid team we've now won yet another award for the Muse website, this time its BT Digital music award to add to the trophy cabinet. You can see Sam, Helen and Dan accept the award here.

Following a mystery shopper survey by eDigital Play.com (with user experience design by Splendid) has been crowned the best mobile ecommerce site.

This suggests that people prefer viewing a normal website on their phone rather than a mobile version (I know I do) and the site beat some pretty hefty competition as you can see in the screen shot.

We also designed the National Express website so its nice to have two of our designs in the top ten.

Playing with technology can be fun, one of the Splendid folks convinced these nice robots in Trafalgar Square to right "We Are Splendid". How nice of them.

Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram were commissioned to design this year's Trafalgar Square Installation during the London Design Festival from September 16 to 23.

OUTRACE empowers the general public to take control of eight industrial robots on loan from Audi's production line.

Our latest Microsoft Surface project is for leading medical equipment innovator ResMed.

ResMed are a global leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of innovative medical products for the treatment and management of respiratory disorders, with a focus on Sleep-Disordered Breathing.

The ResMed application draws on all the key features of Surface such as multi-user multi-touch and object recognition. We use the last feature in two ways;

We have a custom invite that is sent to users after signing up online and specifying their interests, the invite then pulls up a personal experience for that user when the invite is placed on the Surface device.

We have also tagged the masks so that when a user places these on the Surface device it brings up the detailed product information and allows them to explore the mask in more detail.

The application was deployed to a large trade show in Germany.

Splendid are pleased to announce they have been appointed by Speedy Hire Plc to deliver a new multi-channel digital strategy across a number of phases.

The Splendid team were at the eBay Developers Conference in sunny San Jose last week, talking about our work with eBay, having catch up with our US clients and catching the keynotes about eBays plans for the coming year.

Splendid travelled to San Jose California in June to be part of the eBay Developer Conference, highlighting the work Splendid has done for the eBay C.S.A. team Silverlight 4.

The Dev Con is an intimate event allowing senior eBay management to connection with the people that work with them as affiliates as well as companies like Splendid that work directly for eBay as suppliers. Of particular interest was the keynote session by Mark Carges, eBay C.T.O. where he outlined the changes implemented in the eBay API of the past 12 months including improved sandboxing as well as plans to extend the API further in the coming year. Advanced analytics was also a hot topic at the event with participants enjoying the discussions around advancements to the API to allow adaptive selling to take place at an even faster rate within the eBay market place.

We have been working with our friends at Unomee and Microsoft on a Windows 7 based multi-touch application for in-flight entertainment (IFE to those in the know)

The application allows users to scroll through movie and entertainment choices and add movies to a stash tray for watching later as well as allowing full screen HD viewing.

The app was demoed at the recent Hamburg Aircraft Interiors Design & Cabin Systems Show, and was very well recieved.

the 3AM site designed and developed by Splendid for Trinity Mirror Group has been nominated for a prestigious AOP Award for launch of the year.
