We have see the Graphic.ly comic book reader for WP7 a couple of times and now the app was demoed on youtube on developers device. The app takes a social approach to comic books and when you log in you get the dashboard with the latest comic books available via Graphic.ly ( btw you can get the desktop app from the site ) and the activity stream which will show you what your mates are rambling about. Using the panorama controls its breeze to switch over to your collection or to browse through the in app comic book store from where you can easily buy the comic books you love. The app also showcases the free comic books that are available for those who love freebies ( which includes me, gotta love free stuff .. ;) )
Remember the Windows Phone 7 comic book app App from Graphic.ly ( hit up the link if you don’t ). They have updated the app and added more features to it. In this video you can see some features like facebook and twitter share, inbox to keep in touch with the community, landscape support and possibly in-app purchase ??
This model of comicbook store works well for Graphic.ly who thrive on social experience and marketplace around digital comics.
This is an old video but it somehow went under our radar and we missed it. Behold the future of comic book reading experience on Windows Phone 7 devices. Using the Deep Zoom capability in Silverlight, Graphic.ly offers an immersive comic book reading experience on Windows Phone 7 Series that incorporates social interaction, with access to the subtleties of artwork and inking. The ability to share comments about a particular comic with friends from within the app looks promising and oh yeah Deep Zoom looks good too :)
via channel9 ( for some odd reason Firefox does not play nicely with the silverlight player, so we have hosted the video on viddler )
Update 27/09/2010 : Check out the demo of the app on a real WP7 device with all the new features.
