iPhone's 300 Location-based Apps

Posted: October 16th, 2008, 1:00pm CEST

Tags: Apple

O'Reilly covered this data provided by Skyhook last week and now Ars Technica takes it on. Recall that Skyhook provides the wi-fi location feature for "old" and "new" iPhones.

Some highlights as of 10/3/08:

- 45% Wi-fi, 25% GPS and 30 Hybrid for location source (good news for Skyhook)

- top categories for the apps: 18% local search, 17% navigation (without turn by turn) and 17% social networking

- both posts include "confidential" in the graphics, though Skyhook gave the permission to use them
"First" Directions App for iPhone

Posted: October 7th, 2008, 2:47pm CEST

It's from XRoad and covers only a few U.S. cities, but apparently G-Map (unfortunate name, I'll offer) is ok by Apple as it's said to be available via the AppStore. It's a large download (700 Mb free space needed) and apparently downloads all the data so there's no need for a connection to do a search or get directions.

TG Daily notes that v 2.2 of the iPhone firmware will include StreetView and opens up navigation. The current firmware version is 2.1 and it seems the app above is delivered on that version, though product page does not specify.

Student iPhones, Complete with Campus Mapping Apps

Back in the day, I believe it was Dartmouth that provided every freshman with a Mac. Now, several schools are handing out, or asking students to pony up for iPhones. Some even include custom apps:

The Abilene Christian University iPhones have an interactive map feature that can track the phone and give directions to the student's next class.

This suggests two things to me:

(1) The blurring, as we mentioned on this week's podcast, of the rational for such a device. While the schools are looking for interactivity in the classroom, there are also safety, social and in time business uses. Best start them on all of those early!
(2) The customization of the device for a particular user community. This is not a new idea, but often an effective one to jumpstart interest.

Off topic: UK Ad Czars Take Down Misleading iPhone Ad

Posted: August 27th, 2008, 2:35pm CEST

Tags: Apple

The ad is aimed at showing off the power of the iPhone: "The ad showed the internet navigation prowess of the iPhone, with images zooming in on a weather forecast for Cape Town and a map of how to get to Heathrow airport."

The complaints, two complaints, questioned the voice over: ""You never know which part of the internet you'll need ... which is why all the parts of the internet are on the iPhone." They claimed without Java and Flash support, this is not true. Apple responded saying it could not support ever possible 3rd party app and that it meant to suggest that access was available to websites, not to all functions. The Advertising Standards Authority felt it was misleading and ordered the ad removed. The sites shown in the ad, Apple confirmed, don't use Java or Flash.
