The folks behind Pikkoo, the company which presented its offering at the recently ended Mobile 2.0 Europe in Barcelona, sent me an email to inform me about the official launch of their Live Screensaver concept, which allows streaming of information to mobile devices without ever pushing a button.
Their first live screensaver is launched in partnership with Foreca, Finnish digital weather service company, with which they’ve developed Foreca Live Weather Screensaver. The application/screensaver brings up-to-date, geographic-specific weather information of 140,000 locations worldwide to mobile screensavers.
Personally I find this kind of screensaver extremely useful, as I check for weather conditions about once a day. Using Foreca Live Weather Screensaver, I would be reminded on the weather even when I’m not doing anything on my phone.
Finally, in case you’re wondering, Pikkoo’s live screensavers rely on Adobe Flash Lite technology, which works on quite a few phones today…
