56k app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Sjook
First release : 02 May 2012
App size: 2.63 Mb
56k is a tribute to the early-90s internet experience, where you had to make sure nobody was using the phone before you could dial up and connect to the internet. Speeds were slow - increeeedibly slow. The mobile phone you know and love would leave any internet connection circa 1997 surpass that speed even on its most modest setting.
Re-live the days of dialing up with your modem, listening to the gurgling sound of it connecting and navigating between super-simple webpages, slowly loading images and experiencing random disconnects.
Alternatively, compare it to what a similar experience would look and feel like on todays platforms, only as if you still had the trusty 56K-connection.
We hope you enjoy this little trip to the past... and please remember to hang up the line when youre done! ;-)
