Mobile Applications
iPad, iPhone, Android and Blackberry
The mobile market is a fast moving target, yet one that requires immediate attention. Our objectives when building mobile applications are as follows:
- Support as many devices as possible (iOS, Android, Blackberry, WebOS)
- Maximize performance, minimize resources
- Build to commonly accepted web standards
- Architect with easy extensibility in mind
We prefer to build web-based mobile applications. Maintenance is easier, updates can be made faster, and native wrappers like PhoneGap allow us to access device functionality in a platform-agnostic manner. You can put the app in the app store and have your own application icon with a self-maintained application!
The mobile applications we have built utilize a variety of technologies, among them jQuery, iUI and jQTouch. We expect to use the new Sencha Touch framework in our next generation of applications for an even better mobile experience.
RecruitCycle Mobile
Our collegiate athletics recruitment system needed to go "on the road" with coaches to various high schools, club tournaments and personal visits. We built a mobile app in a weekend that connects to the master system in real time, allowing coaches to retrieve recruit information, save contact records for NCAA compliance, send email and rate recruits from their Blackberries. The app works and looks great on iOS, Android and Blackberry devices! You can play with it at http://demo.recruitcycle.com/m (login: adobe, pw: chewbacca). RecruitCycle also works great on tablet computers like the iPad!
Cornell Compass
The Cornell Compass application is a web application that uses the geolocation features of the mobile device to determine the user's distance and direction from the center of Cornell's campus. It's a fun app - and open for you to play with at http://www.cornellcompass.com/ (we also built this site to explain the project).
Coming soon...
These are applications we've proposed but have not yet been released. We'll update once they're available!
Lead Retrieval: An application for a tradeshow services provider. The intent is to make it easier for trade show exhibitors to capture attendee information at their booths using familiar hardware (i.e. their own phone).
Event Information: An attendee networking application that contains event-specific information for a trade show, reunion or other large gathering. Will utilize our expertise with geolocation to provide realtime, proximity-based information.
Campus Tour: An application to significantly improve the campus tour experience by supplementing it with geolocation data, video and social content.
