The planet is in trouble. The climate is changing, icecaps are melting and the air around us is choking up with pollutants and you, yes YOU, are making it worse every time you plug your mobile into the wall.
What is required is some way of telling you that your mobile is fully charged and you can stop plugging it directly into the still-beating heart of spaceship earth. Somebody caring, somebody conscientious, somebody.. er.. small and furry.
www.mocarbon.com is an initiative from Australian mobile developers Moket that provides an animated Flash background of a squirrel who will helpfully let you know that your ohone needs charging, tell you when it is plugged in and then get all arsey with you if you don’t unplug it again when the battery is full.
Seriously, the little fella goes from the polite “Your phone is now charged. Please unplug your charger” to yelling “DO IT!” while shaking its tiny squirrel fist at you.
There is a selection of other characters too - I quite like the bear. The bear looks like he really, really wants to help but will be forced to cut you if you go against his wishes.
No pricing info available as the parent site is undergoing a refit at the moment, but a list of Flash 1.1 compatible handsets is available here.
iPhone users have been waiting for full Flash support for a while, after all, according to Apple’s winsome adverts the iPhone doesn’t offer a watered down version of the internet, “it’s just the internet”. Quite.
