New apps and Longitude²
I suppose it’s about a time this was updated!
We’ve had a busy year. Lots of projects for lots of different people, but little progress on our own mobile apps. Until now…
We’ve got several new products in development, and while we can’t share any details right now, we promise they’re very exciting and we can’t wait to share them with you!
One exception…
Longitude. No one was happy that we discontinued Longitude. Frankly, neither were we… but time was not on our side. Almost a year later, after much demand – and a need for – an update to Longitude, we’re back on it and almost ready for a beta release. Google’s Latitude app works, sure… but sometimes it doesn’t update for days, sometimes it’s updates are within thousands of feet, and it doesn’t utilize the beautiful iPad display! We’re fixing those issues.
There will be two releases: one on the App Store and one in Cydia. The apps will be virtually identical, except the jailbroken app will provide the option to update on an interval in the background rather than waiting for location updates, and it will provide an SBSettings toggle.
The App Store release will come as soon as possible, but the jailbroken release won’t be available until the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak is released (though we’re hoping that will be sometime in the next week).
