Disney Launches New App With 'Click2Life' Tool Media Week Disney has launched a new application for Apple’s iPhone and iTouch devices, with a feature that will enable users to take pictures of items from the real world, and in doing so, will unlock unique content within the app. By using the free apps “Click2Life” tool, users can take pictures of images from Disney by literally lining up an iPhone in front of a computer screen and snapping pictures from the site. Those photos of Disney.com will instantly become 3D images within the app, said Jason Davis, vice president, Disney.com. But according to Davis, the long-term plan for Click2Life is for users to be able to take pictures of items from the real world, such as a Disney movie poster or product from a Disney store, to unlock proprietary content or offers. According to Davis, Disney has seen an upswing in mobile traffic, particularly from the Web-surfing-friendly iPhone and iTouch. So why create a dedicated application if these devices are already drawing fans? by Mike Shields complete article

'Mobile Magic' First Disney Parks Mobile App Details, Screen Shots Unveiled Disney Parks Blog Earlier this year, we announced our first official Disney Parks mobile application – Mobile Magic. Now, we’re sharing details and screen shots. You’ll recall that Mobile Magic is bringing attraction wait times, FASTPASS return times, extensive information on character locations and more for Walt Disney World and Disneyland theme parks to your Verizon Wireless phone. Development work has been ongoing but the team recently offered a walkthrough of the app and it’s looking great. Attraction wait times on your Verizon Wireless device will be unique. There’s been an investment in the backend infrastructure to support Mobile Magic and offer actual wait times based directly on Disney Parks information. As for FASTPASS, you’ll be able to check if it’s still available for specific attractions. And if FASTPASS is available, the app will deliver information about the next return time. So, if you can still get a FASTPASS, the application will show, for example: FP: 4:00-5:00 p.m. Also, mobile maps are GPS-enabled. It’s simple to scroll through content and find it on the map via a “getting there” option. The map zooms out and allows you to see your location and exactly where the character greeting or restaurant can be located. by Thomas Smith complete article

Wow, that looks so cool! I can't wait until they release the app for smart phones and "touch" handsets. However, it's sort of a bummer that it's $9.99 for only 180 days. I can't wait to give it a 24-hour trial though!
