Much love goes out to the guys and girls over at QuickLeft. The Boulder based web engineering company provides strategy, architecture and development resources to turn good ideas into great applications. We recently had the pleasure of working with them on building out an API for one of our Apps. They’re a great group to work with that we’ll hopefully cross paths with again in the future.

Electric has the right idea with the 3.0 release of their iPhone app. They were one of the first action sports brands to jump ahead and put out an app. They’ve added some nice updates including the Rock the Volt feature that allows users to virtually try on sunglasses. [iTunes Link]

The iPad is undoubtedly the ultimate piece of “now” technology. So what happens when you take the crème de la crème of Apple touch technology and merge it with old school Apple tech.
For instance, the Macintosh Classic. Released in 1990, the Mac Classic was the first Macintosh to sell for less than $1000. It had a 9-inch monochrome CRT display with a 512×342 pixel resolution, 8 MHz processor, 40 MB hard drive, and 2 MB of RAM. Two decades later, we have the iPad and its 9.7 inch LED display with a 1024-by-768-pixel resolution, 1 GHz Apple A4 processor, and 64 GB flash drive.
What do you get when you merge the two? Leave it to the Japanese to show us.
