Mobomo Mobisphere Roundup — May 26, 2010
AT&T customers in New York City will be able to access free WiFi in and around Times Square. This is the company’s temporarily solution to data congestion.

Apple improves search in the iPhone App Store
When I created the App Store content for our TrafficTweet application, I created a nice list of tags. I was disappointed to see that the App Store didn’t have an area to insert these tags in the submission forms. The iPhone analytics vendors like PinchMedia and Medialets already supported tags.

Welcome to Mobomo!
The iPhone platform and the Apple App Store radically changed the way we work, live, and play. The massive iPhone success has resulted in other mobile vendors launching similar stores for their devices. In addition, the new generation of Software Development Kits (SDK) is making it much easier for developers to build and deploy applications and services for the mobile workforce. These mobile applications provide rich user experience by leveraging advanced device features such as multi-touch screens, GPS, compass, accelerometers, cameras, and other sensors.
