One couldn’t help noticing a few trends in this year’s Navteq LBS Challenge – perhaps you watched the award ceremony via live webcast? Some of the obvious trends that I noticed while getting the skinny on the finalists:
– the uLocate WHERE developer platform is the developer tool of choice this year for LBS apps – 10 of the top 15 apps used WHERE!
– The Nokia N95 seemed to be the device of choice for demos – most of the demos I saw were running on the N95, although not the N95 8GB… odd!
– According to Navteq, more than half of this years’ apps incorporated some form of user-gerated content – of note, last year the hot trend was social networking apps.
