We’ve set up a flickr group pool for anyone interested in sharing images of their Pixi designs. To view the images visit www.flickr.com/groups/pixi.  To share your own Pixi designs, just do a screen capture, upload to your own flickr account, and join the Pixi group to post your own images.  Or you can e-mail us your images and we’ll post them for you.

Please note that in an upcoming release of Pixi, you’ll be able to share actual Pixi animations with other Pixi users, using the social sharing mechanism that we’re developing. Enjoy!

Pixi was given an extensive review in the Japanese iPhone blog, AppBank.net.  Our first act upon discovering the thrilling article was to run it through a language translator (babelfish).  We were immediately charmed by the translated title shown above.   Here is an excerpt from a better translation:

Pixi: A beautiful, dancing, wriggling line—a new method of art

Remember the Spawn Illuminati application? Wasn’t it a beautiful, neon-like fireworks app?

Now introducing Pixi—outclassing the former with the ability to gaze at a wriggling that you control—a high-quality iPhone application.

I’d like to introduce you to the instruction page which shows the capabilities of this app.  At the startup screen, let’s begin by pressing “start”. Initially, the default Pixi is displayed: see the line spinning around.

Try playing around without knowing how to use it.

And there, you can make such a beautiful wiggling line. Did you get it? I got it, but let’s go back to check the help.

[The features are then explained]

After spending seven minutes learning the controls and having gotten Pixi to react in the way I intended, without realizing it I found that I had spent about an hour playing around with it. In other words, what with the after images and optical illusions I had a good sensation.

The full review is here: http://www.appbank.net/2009/01/30/iphone-application/7741.php. Thank you AppBank!!  Thank you to all our Japanese followers.

First of all, thanks to our early adopters.  Pixi launched on the iTunes store just 6 days ago and we’re already receiving rave reviews.  Our iTunes average review is 4.5 out of 5 stars and we’re receiving many kudos and suggestions via e-mail.

Many of you have requested more information about the inner-workings of Pixi.  As a first response, we’re posting a FAQ to quickly answer your most common questions.  Look for an instructional video to be posted both here and on YouTube within the week.

We’ll also be creating a flickr group for Pixi images, so you can share your favorite designs.

Thanks again for the incredible support!  Let us know if you have comments or suggestions for Pixi.
