Awesome Ball iPhone App

Awesome Ball - an app for the iPhone and iPod touch

A friend of mine (Jonathan Johnson) and I decided to enter an iPhone app contest put on by BYU and Omniture. We created a fun little app called "Awesome Ball" to fit the bill. The goal is to get the most people to download and run your app during a two-week period. The main website for the app is www.awesomeball.com, but here's a little teaser:

UPDATE: Jon and I won the contest! Awesome Ball has now been downloaded over two million times throughout the world! Here's the competition website, by the way: http://iphoneapp.byu.edu/

Get ready for Awesome Ball!

Awesome Ball is a great time-killing app. Bounce a ball around in your hand with realistic physics and fun graphics. Double-tap the screen to enter the settings screen and select a different ball to bounce. Each ball acts differently!

Change it up by customizing the ball and the walls with your own images. Take pictures with your iPhone, choose photos from your photo library, or grab photos downloaded from Safari (saved photos are in your "Saved Photos" or "Camera Roll" album). Whose head would you like to put on the ball and bounce it around?
