>>If you look at our mobeegal.in website, mobeegal will help you find things in >>various categories like dating, shopping etc., which is exactly what you are >>looking for to build on top of your Snowball server.<< Your website seems pretty sparse on the specifics, I need to understand the technology you are using so can I take a guess?
You are using GPS to locate the user, and then performing a search using a back end server to return information relevant to nearby locations. You have produced an Android front end, but would like to brand it to specific Mobile Carriers or OEMs? Am I close? >>If your API becomes public, we might also consider using mobeegal to talk to >>Snowball for location sensitive information and perform the search.<< Snowball will become public as soon as I find the time to put a developer program together, although that’s not the same as saying “soon”. >>On top of the domain specifc software that is getting build, I'm also seeing >>developers doing the same location, social networking related code again and >>again. May be, this is one area where people in the mobile social networking >>can work together and probably help each other out. Collaboration is possible >>among products of similar interests. We just need to figure out how.<< We are now clearly in the “consolidation” phase the Android, where “battle tested” developers raise their weary heads from the contest and start looking for comrades. Getting ready to tool up for stage 2, where the competition will be much tougher. Collaboration sounds good. Hence I am taking an interest in your product and trying to figure out where it belongs in the LBS landscape. >>If either of you are interested in input on these areas from a perspective >>that it allied with, but somewhat outside of, the social networking space, >>then count me in. While I'm less interested in the social networking and >>commercial applications of this work, I'm definitely interested in the >>sea-change that can happen if local, short-range networking takes off. I'd >>be delighted to talk more about some of the technical issues that are >>involved in making this work on the ground.<< You sound like someone I should be in contact with when implementing the Snowball Wi-Fi and Bluetooth channels. :-) Like Android itself, people will only use this technology if there are truly useful applications built on top of them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Challenge" group.
