I will try to catch up with my mailbox during the week-end.

Happy New Year!

2008 promises to be challenging for MetrO, with a lot of work on the horizon:
  • The Symbian UIQ 3 version which so far proves to be difficult to deliver;
  • The BlackBerry version that many of you are still waiting for;
  • The iPhone version that may become possible, depending on what Apple delivers as an SDK;
  • An easier way to contribute transportation network data, that would allow us to get more time for development instead of sweating over the data maintenance.

We wish you all a happy new year with MetrO!
