In the wilderness of Northern Tanzania, close to the plunging walls of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Natron is home to an incredible natural spectacle. Two million crimson-winged Lesser Flamingos gather here to hatch, breed, migrate and die, and capturing all this activity on film requires something more than a wing and a prayer. “We needed the sort of technology that would allow us to make a film that could stand up in cinemas”, says Leander Ward, producer and co-director of The Crimson Wing. “We’d worked with Apple hardware and Final Cut Pro before and felt instinctively it was was we needed”.

“Apple’s hugely successful entry into the [mobile games] market has sent out palpable shockwaves”, writes Keith Stuart for The Guardian. In his detailed assessment of the App Store, Stuart has some very positive things to say. “Most iPhone owners are familiar with the App Store model thanks to iTunes – they trust Apple, they know how much they’re going to be charged and they know that when they download the game it’s going to actually work. What’s more, the App Store offers ratings, proper charts, recommendations, and everything else we love from iTunes. It’s a familiar, enjoyable browsing experience”.
