'Ultimate 2012' main page featuring the animated Mayan wheel and set of features

That's the problem with the iPhone app market, aside from having too many fart apps, the surplus of choices. There is no real way to narrow down these choices except to do some research, read the reviews and look at the screen shots. There are many blogs and app review sites that post their own reviews on top of the Apple monitored reviews you see on the iTunes store. The challenge is to make the good apps stand out from the fillers. Ambient Channel understood this when releasing 'Ultimate 2012' app.
With 2012 becoming a bigger phenomenon, the app store is starting to fill up with unoriginal or lack luster versions of the same 2012 countdown. Ambient Channel went the extra mile and added a list of functionality features to an already detailed animated countdown.
For the same 99 cents, 'Ultimate 2012' features, a task list maker, tip of the day called Drop of Knowledge, and an interactive Time Capsule. The task list has a subtle animated background, and a simple clean interface. The Drop of Knowledge gives you one piece of advice, or proverb, or survival tip to prepare for the big day. Aside from an info page, there's also a Time Capsule feature which let's you send messages to yourself which you cannot open until December 21, 2012. But sending that message is half the fun with a lock wheel you turn with your thumb as you hear the sounds of your message being locked.
All this, on top of a fully animated Mayan Calendar countdown to the end, including full sound design. Not to mention a short surprise video which plays when the countdown reaches zero. With such features and an attention to detail for only 99 cents, 'Ultimate 2012' is the first grab for anyone interested in the 2012 phenomenon.
