Information Week also has an article by Elena Malykhina about today's launch by Earthcomber
Earthcomber LLC today introduced a free service that provides maps and directions on Windows Mobile-based PDAs and smart phones.
Two quotes of interest:
The global market for mobile location-based services is expected to reach more than $8.5 billion by the end of 2010, according to Juniper Research. In 2005, the location-based services market was less than $1 billion.
and
Vendors are working to expand the technology into new uses. Earthcomber, for example, offers a feature that lets people join or create interest groups for sharing information on things such as historic sites, art galleries, or picnic locations.
Those of you that read my other blog would know that I am keenly interested in Online Communities and how (cyber) Space meets (real life) Place.
