“Balloonimals” And “Elmo’s Monster Maker” Are International TV Stars!
Posted by lancito on Apr 30, 2010 in Balloonimals, Elmo's Monster Maker, Sesame Street, iPhone Apps For Kids
We here at IDEO feel incredibly special to be one of the few select developers to get their iPhone apps for kids hand picked by Apple and featured on their television commercials. We are excited to share this great news with you and to provide links to the actual commercials so you can enjoy them too!
Apple Features “Elmo’s Monster Maker” On Latest US TV Commercial (0:30)
Currently, Elmo’s Monster Maker is being highlighted on Apple’s “Family-Man” titled commercial.
This TV commercial demonstrates the iPhone’s value to the entire family as Elmo’s Monster Maker (EMM) is featured as a great way to keep the kids entertained on long (or short) road trips.
Featured along side Elmo’s Monster Maker app is Jamie Oliver’s cooking app (whoever that is ;P) and Viper’s remote car access app. So I guess you could say that we are in good company.
Check out Apple’s 30 second commercial for yourself to see what parent’s who own EMM have known for a long time.
Then check out the product page to learn more about this great app and download Elmo’s Monster Maker from iTunes.
“Balloonimals” Featured On Family Travel Themed iPhone Commercial In China
How’s your Mandarin?
Well, here’s a great opportunity to find out. IDEO’s Balloonimals app is being featured in a new commercial from Apple in China.
Watch the video and let us know what you think.
Don’t Worry, It Won’t Go To Our Heads
This isn’t the first time that IDEO’s apps have been featured by Apple. You may recall (or just look at the older blog posts) that Balloonimals was featured in Apple retail displays on the display where the icons fly past you like a comet storm.
We would like to say thanks to Apple for recognizing all of our hard work. But what gives us the greatest satisfaction is the miles of smiles that we see when someone picks up and really connects with our creations. Play is not just fun, it’s our job, so we are glad that so many of you are getting exposed to IDEO’s iPhone apps for kids, and telling your families about them.
P.S. If you or your little ones are a Ballooni-maniac and would like to see a Balloonimals II sequel, become a Fan of our Facebook Balloonimals Fan Page and leave us a comment on our Page to tell us what made you such a big Balloonimals fan.
