No doubt a few of you will be toting along an iPhone at next week’s ESRI UC. A tip, if there’s 2 must have apps to have with you next week its these, the UC BackChannel from DTS Agile, and ArcGIS mobile for iPhone.
To get the Backchannel app simply point your Safari web browser to http://uc.dtsgis.com and then create a registration and follow the instructions. Once configured you’ll be able to chat with others and you can win some great prizes and have fun by sharing photos captured during the week in the photo safari competition – snap my photo and get 27 whopping points!! Snap Jack’s photo and you can get hundreds! Follow @dbouwan on Twitter for updates on the back channel
ArcGIS for iPhone – no doubt you saw the news that you can now run ArcGIS on your iPhone, if not where have you been?? There’s loads of great web services that are pre-defined and easy to access. There’s a San Diego County map and even a map showing venues that offer foursquare offers.
Apparently there’s an official ESRIUC mobile app for iPhone in development, however, we’re unsure at this time if/when the app will be made available in the iTunes store… likely a holdup there I suspect!
