Soniqu iPhone Audio Editor Soniqu allows serious musicians, hobbyists, pod casters, and average users the ability to create songs or record audio on the fly from anywhere via the portability of their iPhone or iPod Touch. The user doesn’t need an internet connection to create music as they can record using the built in audio recording power of the iPhone. If the user does have access to the internet, they can obtain new sound samples to use in their song via a special Soniqu website. The user can also upload sounds from their computer to the Soniqu program library via a special easy to use application. Soniq’s interface includes a 16 track editor where users can record, tweak, and mix various audio inputs. Soniq allows the music to be exported in .wav or .mp3 formats.

FashionME - Shop Fashion "On the Go!" Fashion Me is the new fun way to shop for clothes. Now you can see what the actual clothes will look like on you, not a model. Mix and match outfits with just a click. First just load a picture of yourself onto your iPhone. Choose from a catalog of clothing and ….click. It’s that easy. The clothing will appear on your photo screen and you can see yourself wearing the selected outfit. Apax Mobile developed an iPhone application and website that illustrates this concept and allows Fashion Me to attract investors interested in creating the full application.

Smashbox iPhone Audio Player SmashBox is an audio player iPhone application that provides free music paid for by location specific advertising. The application was developed as a proof of concept to demonstrate how a GPS enabled iPhone can be utilized to deliver an audio playlist that is occasionally interrupted by a location specific advertisement. Users are presented with an advertisement during their playlist and are able to display a map to the nearest store of the advertiser, learn more information about the advertiser, and receive a discounted coupon from the advertiser.

Papa John's iPhone App Papa John’s required an iPhone application with less than one day’s turnaround time to give them an immediate presence on the iTunes store. Jim McDonnell, marketing manager, emerging channels for Papa John's International, had just made a blunder saying that their iPhone application had not yet delivered for them. The main problem was that, at that time, Papa John’s didn’t have an iPhone application; they simply had a mobile website. Apax Mobile was able to deliver in a hurry. The application developed for Papa John’s operates as an entrance point to Papa John’s mobile website (http://mobile.papajohns.com). Do to the timeline, the app was very simple, but it allowed Papa John’s to respond positively to some of the negative press that they were receiving from the mobile industry.
