Hello from the Spatial Media LBSzone...
Welcome once again to your weekly dose of LBS, today we have a ton of new announcements to share with you from the LBS
ecosystem. Featured in our application image below is a reminder about a way cool mobile social networking app from socialight.
Post your sticky notes, update and comment via mobile and much more... this is one app to watch! In the news we have a number
of interesting announcements of interest including powerhouse Geo-technology provider, ESRI, moving into the Asia-Pacific with a
new subsidiary - ESRI Asia. Google has expanded their popular Summer of Code competition with a new event targeting the young
developer - this comes in the form of their first open source contest for pre-university students. Speaking of contests, keep your
eyes peeled for a winner in the next couple of weeks from Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson Content Awards recognizes outstanding
achievement in mobile application development and a winner will be crowned on Dec 18. We've also got details of a new personal
location device, a clever Panic Button for GPS smartphones, and a new Geo-location social networking platform accredited for
Nokia's N95 and 6110 Navigator. These items and much more are listed below and available via LBSzone.com. A reminder... the
deadline for submission of LBS Apps for the CES Attendee Choice Awards has been extended to Dec. 1. A Tip: Remember you can
take LBSzone (and all our publications) to go via our Widsets! Your next LBSzone Alert will come late next week
when yours truly returns from Nokia World in Amsterdam.
Socialight is yet another cool, location-aware social networking app - you can even create cool Flickr badges with it!
