mapped.at, the iPhone 3GS and OS 3.1

For the last 3 to 4 weeks I have been waiting for the release of OS 3.1 for the iPhone, and now it is here….

mapped.at has been working on a number of Apps for the iPhone for the past year or so. Nothing so far has really got to a point where we felt happy with releasing it. There were usually some limitation of the iPhone hardware, or the iPhone operating system (OS), that meant we couldn’t get things to work the way we want, or there was something missing, or there were ‘illegal’, from Apple’s point of view, calls being made to the OS.

With the release of the iPhone 3GS this summer (mainly the inclusion of a built-in digital compass and video capability), and now the release of OS 3.1, means we can move things forward.

We now have a couple of prototype applications working on an iPhone 3GS and OS 3.1, and hopefully these will be submitted to the App store within the next month or so….
