[Geomoose-users] [ms4w-users] mobile phone applications forms4w?

[Dan Little]

It's not so much the capabilities in the list.  God willing, it'd be possible to stuff a full GIS suite into one's pocket and head out to the field.  It's a real matter of picking a platform and running with it.  Extreme-mobile computing is very diverse in it's solution set but I think the two best starting points are iPhones and Android phones as they have the most UI components figured out.  Other proprietary OS's are a bit niche and the "not much more than a phone" phones will have limited visualization capabilities.

>Well, I looked in my wallet and $5 fell out. Is that enough? (Just a little humor) Seriously though, this is something that really intrigues me. I'm sure Bob already knows this as I have told him my desires/plans for its use. The key, for me, is the ability to edit/save changes to data. Whether it be moving objects or metadata associated with an object. If there is something I can do to assist, I'm ready.
