I am currently working on a major iPad project for jTribe utilising novel interactive elements, such as touch-based manipulation of objects with physics.

[From their website] jTribe has a highly experienced team of passionate iOS and Android developers based in Melbourne and Sydney. They have published more than 20 iPhone apps in the Apple AppStore and realised mobile applications for various Australian and international clients such as Zendesk and Dell.

I have been intimately involved with SmeshUp for some time, building a large scale crawl-index-search system for extracting meaningful metrics from social & mainstream media. The system made use of various forms of Lucene, originally Ferret (Ruby/C port of Lucene) and, more recently, Solr Cloud. The majority of the system was written in Ruby (Rails, God, Mongrel and many hand-rolled solutions) with some heavy lifting in Java.

[From their website] Smesh pulls it all together. Not just mainstream sources but blogs, both established and brand spanking new ones. Because if there's any brand-spanking going on where your clients are concerned, you want to know about it and Smesh wants to find it.
