Hi GeoWankers,
Many of you have seen me at various Where events and occasionally (although not that often) on this list. I'm writing today to let you know that our first application is finally available. HearPlanet, the application that turns you cell phone into a talking tour guide, is now available in Apple's iTunes App Store, and directly from the App Store App on your iPhone! Getting approved early by Apple was a great surprise and it's accelerated a number of things for us. We decided to go ahead and (soft) launch our application today! (Actually, Apple pushed us live a little early and we hit the iTunes store last night.) We decided to try and get a little bump out of being in the store early and on Christmas. Right now we're selling the application for $3.99 and your purchase and download is greatly appreciated. Early sales will help us get our numbers up, elevating our position in the App Store and providing a little capital in the short term. You can now download HearPlanet from iTunes by clicking this link www.hearplanet.com/appstore (or just search the App Store on your iPhone for 'HearPlanet'). One random iPhone enthusiast already emailed us saying we're, "Truly one of the most useful Apps to enter the iTunes store." In addition to spoken information on over 200,000 points of interest, some features that came online just last night include HearPlanet premium proprietary live voiced content. You can sample some of these entries by searching on Lombard St, Market Street, Ferry Building, Federal Reserve Bank (of San Francisco), Fort Mason, and Cow Palace to name just a few. We implement many of our enhancements on the server so you'll be able to access them as soon as new content becomes available. I hope you'll download HearPlanet right away and enjoy the application over the holidays. I also appreciate if you share and encourage your family and friends to check it out. Please consider giving us a five star rating and submitting positive reviews via the App Store. Ratings and reviews are very important to our store placement, especially early on. And please forward any comments you have directly to me or to [email protected] to reach our application team. We are also planning a huge guerilla style launch event at San Francisco's Macworld (Jan. 6th-9th) with a big promotion. Please come join us on our Launch Party Tour Bus if you'll be in town. You won't be able to miss us. All my best and have a wonderful holiday!
