Speak4it – Voice activated local search on iPhone

by

Another fine iPhone tip for you – Speak4it. this is a clever voice enabled local search app enabling users to easily and quickly enter a search term by voice (like “coffee”) and the results are quickly and conveniently displayed on what else… a map naturally! Hits appear on a map (Virtual Earth map service) as icons and the user can then extract additional information like location, phone number etc… and even get routing directions on the map. Simple but very useful.. oh, and the voice recognition (ie. voice to text) works extremely well! See Speak4it in iTunes store or jump to http://www.speak4it.com/ – All the coolest iPhone apps use mapping!

Seeing location-based multimedia content through the iPhone

by

Last week, to relatively little fan fare, metaio officially announced the launch date of junaio, its mobile augmented reality platform – according to the company, they will officially release a first version exclusively for the iPhone on Nov 2 with roll-outs for Android and Symbian platforms soon after. So, what’s the big deal?

By combining innovative online and mobile technologies, junaio will allow users to see location-based content through the display of a mobile device. Users can leave traces, messages or objects and visually interact with their friends or anyone else in the world. Already existing web services can be enhanced and completely new ways of interaction can be created. Whether it is social networks, multimedia content or game concepts – virtually anything can be embedded in the real world and connected to a certain place.

Adding the iPhone 3G S to the Toolbox

by

Well, I’m glad to finally say that I’m pleased to have an iPhone in my possession… amazing really that I’ve been writing about mobile technologies and LBS for several years now without an iPhone in my toolbox! For years now many of our readers here (and on GISuser, LBSzone, and SymbianOne) likely know me to be the Symbian (or S60) guy… fanatical about all things Symbian. I guess I am a huge fan of the Symbian OS – most recently I’ve been using an N95 8GB, Nokia N97, N96, N82 etc… I’ve also been a user of the very cool HTC G1 (aka. Google phone).

I decided the iPhone 3G S is a “must have” device now that the unit is faster, sports GPS (woohoo), loads of memory (32 GB), and maybe most important, has video capabilities (Geesh, about time Apple!) In order to provide blog content, articles for GISuser and in particular, LBSzone.com, I feel its now about time to have the iPhone in my possession. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been receiving almost daily notices about cool GPS-aware applications and cool LBS services for the iPhone 3G and so now its about time that I’ll be sharing my thoughts, reviews, etc… with first-hand commentary – I’m really looking forward to this. And so, if you have an interesting iPhone application that’s location-aware, please feel free to share details with me. Of note, I’m currently using the iPhone 3G until my 3G S shows up at AT&T later this week.
