Summer has arrived! - It took a few years, but it finally has arrived. So there is a lot more time spent out and about, and yet I still need my fix of information. Here are a few current iPhone Apps I have been using to control my addiction:

Wimbledon App

This is a brilliant little App to keep up-to-date with all things Wimbledon. It has the latest scoreboards, which when you tilt the iPhone displays them per court that you can easily scroll though. It also has 3 wimbledon radio stations, so u can listen to the action as well as having the scoreboard visible, and easily flip between different matches.

Other useful features are the schedule of play, video clips of the daily news, information on players, tweets, photos, and Spectator information if you happen to actually be at Wimbledon. A great little App, and free!

iBooks

With the launch of the new iPhone OS4 update that is free to download, you can now enjoy some new features. However the new iBooks App doesn't just appear, you will have to download it form the iTunes store. Worth downloading, there are lots of free books to try.

Absolute Radio

If you are out on your own and bored of the music selection on your iPhone, you could download a Radio App to listen to some radio stations. I've currently tried the Absolute Radio App. Pretty simple, but has the choice of the normal Absolute Radio, a rock channel and more importantly a cheesy 80s station - ideal for the summer.

Found some interesting Apps for the iPhone or even for another phone? - leave a comment and share the love.

All throughout its long lifetime, Interdirect has successfully used tools from Adobe to create the building blocks of its award-winning products and solutions.

So when, earlier this month, Interdirect learned that Adobe had awarded it Silver Partnership status, it was a very proud moment. This accolade is only assigned to leading development companies with longstanding track records of using Adobe products to develop cutting-edge solutions that in turn add value to Adobe’s suite of products. Therefore, to hold it is a tremendous achievement and one that will provide the keystone to Interdirect’s solutions both now and in the future.

Much of Interdirect’s work is in some way supported by Adobe software whether it uses AIR, Flash, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop. In fact almost all projects undertaken by Interdirect, from websites and touch screens to design for print and iPhone applications, are created in partnership with Adobe.

Consequently clients from St. David’s Shopping Centre to Champneys and the ICAEW have all benefitted from the, until now, unrecognised perfect partnership between Interdirect and Adobe.

The partnership obviously adds enormous credibility to Interdirect’s solutions, and it also enables Interdirect to gain access to the resources, tools and information which will help it to grow further  in the marketplace and prosper from a deeper relationship with Adobe.

International Design Consultancy IDEO have released an iPhone app, a virtual version of their 'Method Cards' first released in 2003. The 'Deck' comprises of 51 cards each one created to inspire and explore the possibilities of design.

After 6 months of development and testing, Interdirect have gone live with a brand new Warehousing Fulfilment Solution for the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAEW).

All members of the ICAEW will now be able to place orders for their stationery, marketing and corporate material via their intranet solution (also developed by Interdirect) allowing the warehousing team, based in Milton Keynes, to process orders from a central place rather the laborious and expensive process of sorting through emails and spreadsheets.

This solution will also allow senior ICAEW management to review reports on the volumes of orders and stock levels which the Warehousing team process on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
All in all it lends itself to becoming a very useful tool for all members of the ICAEW.
