8Motions on the N95
Posted in: Apps, MMT/J2memap by admin on 19 December 2007 | No Comments
8Motions just run perfectly well on my latest N95 8Gb. The screen orientation is supported, as well as taking picture and uploading them to the flickr directly.
TIP: put the software in the internal memory, not the 7GB one. This one is extremely slow, and will slow done applications like 8Motions which use local storage for caching.
TIP2: if you want to upload directly to flickr, remember to put ask a flickr token on the mobile. It will be asked the first time that you try to do it, so you need to be close to your computer and type the required URL. I know that this could be better, and we will improve this later on.
Also thanks to nokia 95 user blog for linking the app…
Velib mobile mapz
Posted in: Apps by admin on 4 September 2007 | 2 Comments
This post will be both in French and English, as it’s “Paris Centric” 
Pour demontrer certaines des capacités du moteur de “Mapz”, une petite extension Velib a été crée. Elle permet de voir les stations les plus proches de l’endroit ou vous trouvez, ainsi que le status (nombre de vélos libre) de cette station. La grande nouveauté est que cette extension peut utiliser le GPS interne ou externe (via Bluetooth) de votre téléphone si vous en disposez. Ceci devrait fonctionner parfaitement sur un Nokia N95 par exemple
De plus, elle affiche aussi la carte SUR le mobile, afin de mieux visualiser ou ce trouve cette sation.
Pour l’obtenir, clickez sur le lien ci-dessus, et télécharger le client sur mobile. Si l’affichage ne demarre pas tout seul, allez dans “Mapz” et choisissez “Velib”
To demonstrate the capacities of the “Mapz” engine, a small extension has been created this week end. It allows you to see the nearest Velib station. Velib is a smart system put in place in Paris (and some other cities) where you can reat a bike for some hour in a “station”. You can then give back the bike to another “station”. The issue, for Parisian, is to find the nearest station, and to know if there is a free bike available at the station.
Thanks to Velib map, they are now able to do this! 
iTune effect

Some snapshot of one of the new effect to be introduced in the new client version: a cool “iTune” like effect. Will not be available on all browsers, but look quite cool….Hope to have a screen cast soon.
MyCityMate: another app using J2memap library
Posted in: Apps by admin on 5 March 2007 | No Comments
It has been out since a few weeks, but did not blog about it, but MyCityMate is another nice application with J2memap library embeeded in it.
The basic idea of mycitymate is pretty simple. You add the places you know and like or write reviews about places you’ve been. You do this for the city you know best, your home city, let’s say London or Berlin. Others do it for Barcelona, Madrid or New York for example. The more people participate – the better the guide!
Of course, there’s also quite a bit more to it, such as the possibility to share reviews exclusively with your friends, get individual recommendations from mycitymate, and download all this stuff to your mobile or iPod. Perhaps it’s best if you discover it yourself!

A post that is pending since a long time (sorry Mikhail!):
A Mikhail Novikov, the russian developer behind Jotle, the great mashup between GoogleMaps, Placeopedia, GeoNames, YouTube and Flickr made a mobile version of Jotle, using J2MEmap!
This mobile version provides access to Placeopedia and GeoNames from mobile, as well as a link to Wikipedia from the same application!
Congratulation, and good work!
