How to view GoMo News via Myiota

Rating: Plus a DIY guide to finding THE MWC party listing
by Tony Dennis

I was half way through road testing the Myiota guide to free parties at the forthcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) show in Barcelona when I noticed that Bena had actually beaten me to announcing the news here.

Well, never mind, because I think the subject still deserves a quick guide as to how to install this useful facility onto your handset. Especially since Myiota has the good taste to feature GoMo News as one of the prime sources of news to (hopefully) emanate from the forthcoming Barcelona show.

A crucial point about Myiota is that you have to access its site directly to download the appropriate piece of software – it's no good surfing to the site on your PC and trying to side-load the application afterwards.

Navteq attracts 115 LBS apps developers

Rating: Some entries look genuinely useful
by Tony Dennis

If Nokia recently paid $8 billion dollars for a company, you'd have to take some notice – wouldn't you? So I caved into perusing details of Navteq's Global LBS Challenge competition. Some of the apps look genuinely useful, though.
This particular competition is for bods based in the EMEA region so it's fairly impressive that no fewer than 115 bothered to enter. Although the top prize winner will receive €35,000 ($51,000) in cash and one three-year Navteq territory license valued at €225,000 ($330,000). So that's a bit of an incentive.
