Hello Mobile Enthusiast...
Welcome once again to our weekly Location-Tech news update. To begin, you may not have caught wind of this but it was a pretty big week in mobile tech... case in point, CAD industry leader, Autodesk, announced their new. Mac OSX release along with their new, free, WS mobile app for iPad and iPhone. AutoCAD for Mac has an intuitive interface that will be familiar to Mac users and makes available many of the powerful AutoCAD features and functionality to customers who choose to work natively on the Mac. AutoCAD for Mac takes full advantage of Mac OS X, including graphical browsing of design files with Cover Flow and use of Multi-Touch gestures on Mac notebooks, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad for intuitive pan and zoom features. AutoCAD for Mac will also be offered free to students and educators through the Autodesk Education Community, where more than 25 Autodesk software products are available for download. The AutoCAD WS mobile application will enable AutoCAD users to edit and share AutoCAD files on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch so they can have real-time collaboration even while on the go. See more details HERE. Another small company you may have heard of named Apple made some noise this week as well. The new iPod lineup is simply awesome and perhaps the most interesting new apps/services to come will be the next generation of iTouch which is jam packed with features and functionality, basically negating the need for any mobile carrier in the future - something that I really dig! The social-enabled iTunes 10 creates a wealth of opportunities for content developers as well and will no doubt spur some fine innovation from the developer community - see more HERE
In the Mobile, social-location news space, there's loads of new updates including the following:
An event of interest from Nokia with Nokia Developer Day at CTIA Enterprise and Applications show 10/5/2010 - Learn How to use the new Nokia Qt SDK to create advanced native apps for the Nokia N8 and more new Nokia devices in the future; Qubulus releases indoor positioning app Salamander for the Android Market - The LocLizard label will provide consumers with free solutions to help them position themselves indoors and developers with free tools to position their users indoors.
Over on our blog (anygeo.com) there's plenty of fun and interesting updates to share including:
Some comments from the Apple livestream webcast; a look at a social-media enabled webmap from Esri tracking Hurricane Earl; a video from NAVTEQ showing off their new Natural Guidance system with more "humanlike" gestures and directions. Have a great day to all of you and enjoy the Labor Day week-end
