We hope to have great talks and contacts there. And of course we will show around the SevenSnap iPhone App.

If you want to meet us, just give us a ping at Twitter or eMail.

Just a few days ago we seeded the SevenSnap Beta 0.9.2. This version of SevenSnap solved many app-crashes, optimized the usability and filled the Snap-Room with live-data from our database. It’s a very exciting feeling to enter the Snap-Room and see the price is going down. Second by second.

Currently we’re working on the last details. We’re hoping to start at the end of February 2010 at the App Store (after nearly 12 month of development).

In the last months we not only worked on our iPhone App – we also had first thoughts about a web-version of SevenSnap.

Today we wonna give you a first look on the SevenSnap Web-Platform, which comes with the same GUI as our iPhone App.

Here is a bigger screen.

Especially we focused on two things:

• A great usability: only one page, no page-reloads, just Ajax.
• Touchable. We believe, that Multi-Touch-Technology will also capture client-computers in the next few years. Windows 7, which comes with Multi-Touch-Support, was the first step on that way. Apple will hopefully bring a device in 2010. The SevenSnap GUI is also optimized to be “touchable”.

We hope you’ll like what you see. Please feel free to send us your feedback.

Finally, it is online – the sneak preview explaining the idea behind SevenSnap. Perhaps you have already seen the sneak preview video and guide.

SevenSnap in a nutshell:

Every 60 minutes, we are offering you a product from the realms of consumer electronics, travel and leisure activities. To see the price of the product, which drops every second, you have to enter the Snap Room. Being in the Snap Room costs 1,– USD per minute.

If multiple people are in the Snap Room at the same time, the price of the product can drop by up to 100,– US Dollars per minute. The person first clicking on the “Order now” button gets the deal and the price drop is repeated from the top.
This system creates incredible saving opportunities and makes shopping a very exciting experience.

We hope you like our idea and look forward to receiving your feedback.

SevenSnap is now up in the RackSpace cloud. Our server system now scales automatically and is therefore prepared for any amount of traffic.

We hope that you and the entire iPhone community will like the idea behind SevenSnap. This is why we want to make sure that our website is always available, even if larger tech blogs report on SevenSnap.

For this reason we will move to the RackSpaceCloud within the next few days. As the name implies, the RackSpaceCloud is run by RackSpace and is said to be one of the most advanced out-of-box cloud systems. The RackSpaceCloud is currently used by 24,000 customers. RackSpace operates data centers in North America, Europe and Asia.

Tomorrow night, we will initiate the DNS- update and the domain transfer. On Saturday night, every request should land on the new server system.

Next Sunday, you will finally learn what SevenSnap is actually going to be. For this purpose we have developed a special website and, among other things, will show you a SevenSnap video.

At this time, I work mostly on organizing the translation, since the “sneak preview” will also be available in English language. I am also busy with press releases.

We all look forward to Sunday night and are excited to find out how you like SevenSnap.

Stefan, our designer, delivered the initial drafts for the new SevenSnap website, which is due to launch on August 23. The website is focused on explaining the “SevenSnap Idea” and boasts an “Incentive Campaign” for you. The object of the campaign is still a secret.

In the meantime, our iPhone lead developer “StuFF mc” has published version 0.2.3 of the iPhone prototype. This prototype already features the entire navigation of our iPhone app in its final look and feel. The whole frontend has been converted to the NIB-format. Next week the app will be filled with fake data, so it can actually be used. Web services and the backend will be developed in the following weeks.

I haven’t been twiddling thumbs either and taken care of some backend prototyping and have been trying to acquire a new investor. My efforts were successful and a GmbH company will now be set up for the “SevenSnap Project”.

The new investor is particularly important for SevenSnap, since he doesn’t just provide monetary funds, but also a first-rate international network. The investor in question has already accompanied a number of IPOs of internet companies and presents a meaningful asset to our project. All of our investors will be introduced shortly.
We look forward to August 23. Then you will finally learn what SevenSnap has to offer.

Slowly, things are falling into place. At 7pm on Sunday, August 23, 2009 we will be presenting you the idea behind SevenSnap.

For this purpose we have placed a countdown on the SevenSnap start page. Many thanks to Guido for helping with the Java script.

In the next 20 days I will be very busy with public relations. I will have to complete the press releases and, with the help of StuFF and Stefan, make sure that SevenSnap is presented to you adequately on the 23rd.

This way to the countdown.
