Metamark's e-Brick now available for BlackBerry and Android

Metamark’s hefty “Brick” SignVinyl and Speciality Materials swatch now has two new and somewhat lighter-weight stablemates joining the iPhone app. e-Brick for Android and Blackberry takes a useful chunk of Metamark’s Brick’s contents, the 4 Series and 7 Series SignVinyl ranges, and packs it into an intuitive and easy-to-use application that makes material colour selection and specification even easier still for users of smartphones.

The new app uses the ‘phone’s cameras to capture images of anything the user might want to survey. The captured images can be saved and subsequently examined in close detail using a cursor. The app dynamically calculates and displays the closest available Metamark SignVinyl matches for the image area under the cursor’s focus.

Captured images and corresponding selected matches can be saved for future reference and the entire swatch can also be browsed without making a match reference to an image. Full product data sheets are also stored within the application and it’s possible to e-mail Metamark directly from the app too.

It’s unlikely that the e-Brick will replace the real-world article, says Metamark, but its just another example of how Metamark strives to make itself easy to deal with, and its products easy to choose and to buy. There’s also no doubting, smartphones are very powerful and useful tools and their talents are put to good use by Metamark’s app.

The app is available now, free of charge from the ‘phone’s respective application stores.
