At last April's meeting, we saw five cool demos from Mobile
Portland members. This month, we're doing it again. Please join
us on Monday, March 26 at 6pm to hear great demos about
everything from personal fitness to Tweeting a beer to your
friend.
About the Demos miCoach [http://micoach.com/] - Demoed by Amy
Vaterlaus and Andy Axelrod, adidas [http://adidas.com/]
Adidas is launching an updated version of the popular GPS fitness
app to include strength and flex workouts for those who train in
the gym or in the privacy of their home. Get personal training
by the same folks who train pro athletes.
AppThwack [http://www.appthwack.com/] - Demoed by Trent
Peterson and Pawel Wojnarowicz, Trellis [http://trell.is]
AppThwack is a web service for testing Android apps on real
devices. When a developer uploads an APK to the site, it is
automatically run through a series of smoke tests on real and
emulated devices. It can also run custom tests defined in the
uploaded APK or in a secondary APK that targets it. The demo
will follow an app through this flow using real devices and
display the results in real time. They'll describe how it works,
give an overview of the service's back-end, Trellis, and where
they're headed.
Encyclopaedia Britannica
[http://www.concentricsky.com/about/partners/encyclopedia-britannica/]
- Demoed by Cale Bruckner
[http://www.concentricsky.com/about/people/calebruckner/] and
Charles Augustine, Concentric Sky
[http://www.concentricsky.com]
Encyclopaedia Britannica recently announced it will stop
publishing print editions of its signature product for the first
time in its 244-year history. Concentric Sky worked with
Britannica to make the content of the Encyclopaedia available in
iOS app. They will demo the app and talk about a few of the
challenges they had to overcome.
Tweet-A-Beer [http://tweet-a-beer.com/] - Demoed by Daniel
Wood [https://twitter.com/#!/dtwood] and Erik Ratcliffe
[https://twitter.com/#!/erat], tenfour
[http://www.tenfouragency.com]
Tweet-A-Beer is a web and mobile web application that allows you
to buy a beer for a friend from any computer or web enabled
mobile device, regardless of the distance between you. It is
powered by Chirpify, a commerce platform for Twitter. Chirpify
is the magic that connects your Twitter account to PayPal in
order to pre-approve payments. When you Tweet-a-Beer, you are
sending $5.00 to another Twitter user, and ultimately, their
PayPal account.
CommutePays [http://commutepays.com/] - Demoed by Mark Peden
[https://twitter.com/#!/mpeden], CommutePays
[http://commutepays.com/]
CommutePays has developed a mobile app for saving commuters time
and money. Time? By providing real-time traffic information,
specific to a commuter's route, with alternate route guidance to
ensure they are taking the most time-efficient route. Money? By
providing commuters with timely, relevant, hyper-local offers
and promotions along the same routes they frequent. Two years in
development, they have just completed the soft-launch of their
free app for iPhone and Android. Although the app works anywhere
in the US, they are looking for regional feedback to fine tune
the UI/UX prior to rolling out nationally in the fall.
