Mobup at the Java Conference / Milan

0 comments

Next Wednesday, June 27 I've been invited to join the Java professional community at the Java Conference, main national event on Java related technologies that will be held at the Milanofiori congress hall in Milan.

I'll quite oviously talk about Mobup BUT since the event is so important, I'll provide my audience with the very last nightly build of Mobup which has

  • Bluetooth capabilities

  • Intelligent geotagging


This great step has been reached thanks to the technical effort by Thomas Landspurg, who's the In-Fusio CTO. Tom provided the great expertise he got in Geotagging for mobile devices (he's the mind behind J2MEMAP) to the Mobile project; we're still in private testing but let the software become public in the very next weeks (for the moment you might want to take a look to a couple of pictures and - if you like - try to mash-upping them using apps such as GeotagIt!).

At the moment Mobup (note: not available to the public yet ) automatically geotags the photos using an external bluetooth connected GPS device but my plans are to overcome this "limit" (making it just an option) using GSM cell geodata (one of the solutions in the countries where this kind of data aren't provided by the operator is connecting to freely available databases such as GSMcells).

The future features of Mobup are going to be introduced in two cream of the crop events in Italy this June:



Hope to meet some of you there.
