Another LBSZone Alert has been released... enjoy this edition for the latest developments in LBS.
Hello from the Spatial Media LBSzone...
Once again we offer up a reminder for Developers, Build something cool on the WHERE platform, and you can win
cash and major distribution opportunities - see details
here. Another event of interest to the developer comes from Nokia as we provide you with a Heads Up on
the Forum Nokia Code Camp Competition.
Here's a chance to win up to 15K Euros in cash prizes and an opportunity to showcase your winning application at
the S60 Summit in Barcelona, Spain. Continuing with tips for the developer... have you considered developing for
the Android platform? Well, the SDK is available and you can get some info and tips via a recently released video featuring Sergey Brin and
Steve Horowitz... enjoy! Finally, coming off the recently held Navteq LBS Challenge, we've featured a couple of the
winning apps including SpotJots (powered by deCarta) from grand prize winner ten23 Software, and runner up HeyWhatsThat (powered by WHERE) - I'm thinking
their next cool, LBS app should be called HeyWheresThat (hmmm. not a bad idea!). Oh, and before I forget, be sure
to check out the recently released "Best Practices and
Guidelines for Location-Based Services (LBS)" from CTIA.
