From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Astonishing Tribe (TAT) is a Swedish company founded in February 2002 by Mikael Persson (now Tellhed), Ludvig Linge, Paul Blomdahl, Karl-Anders Johansson, Per Gustafsson, and Hampus Jakobsson. TAT started out as a hobby project and for the first year the company worked with TV commercials, post production for film (eg. Mannen som Log), animation (eg. Swedish National Program Värsta Språket), consultancy services within image compression for embedded systems, and interactive art.
During the second year the founders started to employ people and focused the company on mobile user interfaces, especially licensing technology for rendering and structuring of the user interface. As of December 2006 over 90 employees work for TAT at the offices in Sweden, South Korea and the United States. TAT works with some of the biggest mobile brands (Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Orange, Motorola being some of the more known official customers).
