We are working on an Augmented Reality golfing application. Our plan was to launch with a specific sponsor, but for reasons that are likely to do with the economy we do not have a partner/sponsor for the application. If you have interest in sponsoring/partnering with us on our AR Golf App email me at sales@biggu.com. Here is a screenshot:

You might have seen MG’s article titled, “Big in Japan Has a Massive Goal.“ He pretty much hit the nail on the head, but I thought I would explain further. Here was the release that Scott Baradell put together:
Big in Japan, a Dallas-based idea factory for mobile applications, today announced that its newly formed iPhone Dev Team plans to introduce 100 iPhone applications by the end of 2010. The iPhone Dev Team — a revenue-sharing partnership between the company and individual developers — has already created five apps, ranging from utilities to games, that are available in the iTunes Store.
“With the success of our comparison shopping app ShopSavvy, Big in Japan has negotiated a wide range of distribution, promotion and sponsorship agreements, and has built relationships with agencies and brands such as WPP, Omnicom and Visa,” said Alexander Muse, Big in Japan co-founder. “In essence, we have created a business and marketing pipeline for mobile apps.
“By partnering with individual developers to form the iPhone Dev Team, we enable developers to access this pipeline – reaching more consumers, generating more advertising revenue, and taking advantage of our ability to scale as new applications come on board. Our plan is to fill this pipeline to the tune of 100 iPhone applications over the course of the next 15 months.”
In September, the iPhone Dev Team made its first five applications available for free download at the iTunes Store: Classic Pen and Paper Games, featuring Tic Tac Toe, Hangman and Dots and Boxes; Gravitron X, a gravity-simulator app; Pickr, which polls users with a question of the day; PocketDice, a 3D dice app for role-playing games; and SportsStar, a utility that turns photos into sports trading cards.
Developers who are interested in joining the iPhone Dev Team may contact Big in Japan at sales@biggu.com.

This week has been a busy one (and it is only Tuesday) here at the Big in Japan offices. Last night we held our monthly startup happy hour AND the Mobile Monday developer event.
This afternoon the State Department brought a group of bloggers from Azerbaijan by for a little cultural exchange.

We are hiring a senior iPhone Developer (Dallas area applicants only, please).
Since 2005 Big in Japan has built web and mobile applications for great brands including MTV, LEGO, FOX and The Federal Reserve. In 2008 we decided to STOP building applications for other companies and START building applications for ourselves. By the summer of 2008 we decided to focus exclusive on mobile application development and our first application was ShopSavvy (barcode scanning price comparison on Android).
We are nearing launch of an iPhone version of ShopSavvy and we need to grow the team to deal with the workload that adding a second platform has added.
Do you live in the Dallas area? Are you interested in joining a nimble, but profitable startup on the verge of something huge? Do you have experience with Objective C development? Maybe a little java? We want to talk to you ASAP.
The position is fulltime and pays between $75,000 and $90,000 base plus bonus and stock options. We cover 100% of your health insurance premiums (health and dental).
Email the following information: – your availability (two weeks or immediate) – your salary requirements – your twitter ID – your LinkedIn Profile – your resume – brief explanation of your development experience to support@biggu.com
