GPS Smartphone use expected to jump 34% worldwide 

According to a recent report released by Strategy Analytics, GPS smartphone shipments will grow from 57 million in 2008 to 77 million in 2009. You can either pay $7,000 for this full report or get the gist below. And yes, that is our intern Nick loading Smarter Agent's real estate app on a BlackBerry inside a BlackBerry. Just a little Photoshop fun.

The report indicates there are two main reasons to explain why GPS smartphone volumes will increase 34% worldwide in a year:

1). Widespread acceptance of portable navigation devices in Europe and the U.S.

2). Increasing presence of mapping applications (Like Smarter Agent's location-aware real estate app! That's not in the report-it's just our 2 cents.)

Nokia is the global leader in GPS enabled smartphones. But the report says Research in Motion and Apple are starting to close in. See the article on FierceWireless for more details on the report and quotes from Strategy Analytics.

Here’s the first GPS Smartphone with a mobile real estate search built by Smarter Agent’s founders in 1999.

This is an early version circa 2000 Brad and Eric Blumberg created to find properties in Philly. Check out the size of that antenna!

Smarter Agent has come a long way. Our premium mobile real estate search now works on 95% of cell phones. Click here to see the devices we support and to download Smarter Agent.

A Hole in One! 

So, imagine you're working on your golf game and you come across this on the back nine!

No, we don't go putting up Smarter Agent signs on every green. But today, Smarter Agent was a sponsor for the 2nd Annual World of ACIN Golf Outing at the Suneagles Golf Club at Fort Monmouth, NJ.

The ACIN Technology Center is Smarter Agent's home. It's America’s first small business accelerator devoted to serving the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. ACIN was established in 2001 through a contract between the U.S. Army and Drexel University. The mission of the ACIN Technology Center is to identify small businesses and technologies that make information delivery faster, more secure, and more flexible to benefit the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security.

Smarter Agent's location-aware, mobile property search technology helps not only interested home buyers and real estate professionals but also first responders and the military!
