Canned Demo™

ThumbJive's Canned Demo is one product with three distinct uses:

Mobile presentation tool
Collaboration and prototype tool for mobile handset graphics and UI
Rapid specification tool for application flows

Using Canned Demo Web, our online content management tool, you can upload image and sound files, and define rich text formatted views. Then you can quickly organize them into a show driven by key presses and timer events. From the Canned Demo Player running on your BREW or J2ME handset browse and download shows for viewing or demonstration. And most importantly ZERO ENGINEERING TIME REQUIRED.

Canned Demo is primarily a business development tool, allowing you to demonstrate a realistic mobile application, complete with sound and animation, to investors, partners, clients or network carriers. The Auto-Launch feature hides the Canned Demo menus on the handset when you start the application, running the show you have loaded. Your audience will not even know that it isn't a real application you are showing off.

Another use of Canned Demo is as a tool for mobile graphic artists. We have found that 15% of development time is lost in iterations with graphic designers (more when doing remote collaboration), trying and retrying graphic assets. Without seeing the art on a real handset you cannot be certain that the format, transparency, color model and aspect rations are correct. Canned demo allows the artists themselves to validate their own art on the handset, so what they deliver is exactly what they intended to deliver, first time.

In addition to uploading images you can specify rich text to display in the show. This allows you to prototype the application flow of a mobile application in minutes. At ThumbJive we had always used HTML for clickable application flows, however now we find that the Canned Demo faster, more realistic and more effective.

Features of Canned Demo include:

Fast upload and creation of shows - be up and running in minutes
Secure server accounts for storing shows
Lauch-As-Product feature turns Canned Demo Player into the application you are demonstrating
On-the-fly images transcoding customizes graphics for the target handset
Canned Demo Player allows you to store and manage multiple shows on the handset
Shows can be marked 'public' so others can download it
