Find Relevant Landmarks Near You With Landmark Finder
by Sebastien on Apr 2, 2009
The following is a guest post by Mike Damian from midVentures.com, a Chicago-based tech firm who developed the Landmark Finder app for iPhone.
How often do you find yourself with time to kill and nothing to do? How would you like to take your friends and loved-ones on a memorable weekend getaway without spending lots of money?
Landmark Finder is an app that geo-locates your iPhones position and displays relevant landmarks on a Google map or list form. We use Landmark Finder all the time to:
- See where famous people lived
- Discover where important battles were fought
- See where championship teams played
- Experience where natural disasters took place
- Discover great works of architecture, interesting neighborhoods, and exciting infrastructure!
- Marvel in exotic parks
- Witness Engineering marvels
- Learn about museums, parks, and hotels to spend the night
Landmark Finder covers the entire US including: New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Austin, Philadelphia, Orlando, Miami, San Francisco, San Jose, Detroit, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, and many more cities!
Landmark Finder is perfect for weekend getaways, layovers at airports, people who often take business trips, who knows, you might even learn something about the city you live in!
We also plan on aggressively updating the app with social bookmarking features, the ability for people to add landmarks and have the crowds approve them, and other social features when iPhone OS3 comes out.
Landmark Finder is available from the App Store for $0.99, so think about checking it out, and keep your eyes peeled for a feature-rich update in the future.
New iPhone 3.0 Beta – Not Much New
by Guest Author on Apr 2, 2009
As you may have heard, Apple has released another iPhone 3.0 beta. There’s not much to write about. The update is mainly to improve performance. How do we feel about it?
We have mixed feelings here… and we are a bit confused honestly. Although sometimes and in some places we thought “They fixed it”, it then went rogue. The OS is sucking up a lot of RAM. Of course remember we tested this on a 1G iPod Touch. As you may remember after we posted about 3.0 here we had the chance to play with 3.0 on an iPhone 3G for a few minutes. The user said it was better than any other OS had run on his iPhone. And for the minutes we played with it, it seemed so.
Nothing new so far. There’s now a mysterious “Store” option / button in the Settings page. But when you tap it, it’s blank. Hmmm….
Other than that the other new thing we found is that the recovery mode thing is now purple?! Oh and picture MMS is working and other sites are reporting video MMS is also working. That’s about it guys.
Oh, how could I forget?! You now have 11 pages. Go crazy with apps!!
For now that’s it. Let us know in the comments if you want to know anything and we’ll try to make you happy 
.
P.S: Maybe the purple recovery mode logo was an April Fool’s joke from Apple. After all they did release a blank album on iTunes (seriously!! Three blank tracks): iTunes Link
