[TCMUG] Mobile GeoMoose

[Paul Wickman]

It seems that one path would be to come up with a separate development line for iMoose (or whatever), and just kept under the same "umbrella" as GeoMoose.  My only thought of throwing out that reference to PhoneGap was to try and pick a development API that covers as many platforms as possible, rather than try to develop device-specific apps.  The device-specific apps might be able to take advantage of certain features only exposed by, say, the iPhone SDK, but the tradeoff of course it having to maintain multiple lines of code.

Has anybody ever messed with the CloudMade Mobile SDKs?

Just my $0.02.

Thanks,

Paul Wickman

Especially as my wife is expecting an iPad on April 3rd, it would give me a good excuse to steal it from her for long periods of time -- "I MUST TEST THIS CODE!"

Its so ridiculously configurable that it is very hard to directly port to platforms that do not have the capability of handling it.  I would be willing to take up a cause for a  targeted application, especially if there is someone willing to put together a scope/proposal for the MetroGIS App Contest.
