Best Wireless Application
This week we learned we are a finalist in the NavTeq Global LBS Challenge. We submitted our wireless "GPS" real estate app that let's you learn about homes and real estate.
This means Smarter Agent is now considered one of the 3 best wireless location based serivces in the world as far as LBS commerce/advertising/buying.
A rather big deal on the world stage as we are now acknowledged leaders (see judge list) bringing this emerging medium to consumers.
From the release: Come meet the winners of the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge at CTIA WIRELESS 2005. NAVTEQ will award the winners of the Global LBS Challenge, a contest that invited application developers to build location-based services solutions for cell phones or wireless handheld devices. NAVTEQ, along with ESRI, Microsoft Corp., SiRF Technology, Inc. and Telcontar, is sponsoring the Global Wireless LBS Challenge. Application developers from around the world have submitted their LBS solutions, powered by NAVTEQ™ maps, to be reviewed and judged by leading industry experts including wireless carriers, device manufacturers and other key players in the value chain. In recognition of the rapidly expanding use of location-based information, separate solution categories will be identified and judged independently.
The official judges are from the following companies. GPS World, HP, MapQuest, Microsoft, Motorola, NEXTEL, SK Telecom, Sprint PCS, Verizon Wireless, XM Satellite Radio, US Cellular.
