Stealth Client #1
Our stealth mode client has a killer application idea that is currently being pitched to leading consumer products companies. You know companies like P&G, Budweiser, Hersey's. They've sworn us to secrecy so while can't tell you exactly what it does, we can tell you that this cutting edge app is going to completely disrupt a consumer's marketing relationship with brand leaders. Think what the microwave did to food prep and dial it up a notch. Stay tuned for the Red Droid revolution!
Stealth Client #2
This Red Droid client, received backing from a major handset manufacturer and hired us to make their custom hardware implementation for Android a reality. Red Droid was responsible for assisting the company with the Android GUI development, implementing on the custom hardware, and defining the backend APIs that will be used for porting the application to additional platforms. As part of this engagement, we developed a very sophisticated content management life cycle to manage the megabytes of files that were downloaded to the device for offline viewing. Say for example, on an airplane. This application features streaming media capabilities as well as, let us say, other types of content. We'll leave it at that.
Stealth Client #3
Our top secret client is doing a top secret prototype of an innovative application that prevents users from running certain applications if other things are happening on or around the device. Can't tell you more than that. But it's going to be pretty cool. Ok it's actually really super cool, patents are being filed and the Red Droid prototype has already gotten the VC's a-knockin!
Stealth Client #4
Red Droid was hired by this eCommerce company to port their very popular geocentric shopping app from iPhone to Android. This app is used to push product information and promotions based on location to their mobile device. We're excited to be a silent technology partner supporting their expansion onto the Android platform!
