Seems that future Nokia N95 will haves a GPS integrated….Okay, a little bit heavy probably, and expensive, will have Symbian (which is a bad thing in my view, especially as the UI does not really improve significantly), so wait and see . ( but Mr Nokia, feel free to send me one for evalutation purpose….)

Just drop v0.909 of J2meMap a few minutes ago.
This features a couple of fixes, and the addition of Yahoo!Maps…
Additionnaly, I have inluced an agent called “MobileZoo“. the objective of it is to create a database about phone capacities that will be used to better manage handsets differences. More about this on a separate post!

One of the first (of the numerous I guess) mobile precense service to be launch in the US: Loopt, with Boots Mobile…Unable to check, as it’s US centric….
rom Techcrunch…
Playing a lot with mashup these days…After the integration with FlickrMap, the so called integration with TagZania (which was just putting the right URL somewhere), Ive played a little bit with WikiMapia.
This one was a little bit more complex, as WikiMapia use some “area” instead of just pin point. Anyway, the result is quite compelling and honestly, really fun: this encourage you to discover new places or even to realize that you are close to some well know place. It’s a perfect applicatiton on a phone for the traveller on the move….
(available since v0.908)…

Another attempt to create withou any cost a “cool mashup” with J2memap:
Import a track from internet ( Track->Import->From Internet)
Put a tagzania RSS feed URL of the form http://www.tagzania.com/rss/tag/
where
Then, you will suddenly see all the places tagged where2.0 on your mobile…
And this, without any change in J2memap…Cool, no?

I had to push in a hurry V0.908 today, because GoogleMap updated his API number, and because of this, previous release of J2MEmap did not worked with Google.
So, There is a new version today, earlier than expected…. Please please report in the forum your issue, so I can correct then ASAP if you have somes
The list of updated since V0.907:

at least on mobile mapping side! 
Vodafone announced yesterday the availability of Mobile Earth. Basically, it’s a competitor to GoogleLocal , developped by LocationNet. 400 000 points of interests are available.
The question is how this paying effort will compete with Google Local. I guess most of the revenues from Google Local will come from advertising and sponsored results from searching.
As you know, there are still free alternatives, like J2memap!

Just playing with some cool features of the latest J2memap release. I’ve removed the old GeoBlogger option which was not working anymore, and replaced it with an access to Flickr Map…Result is quite convincing as you can see:
By clicking on a picture, you can see a bigger view of it. Be careful, this might not work on all device, due to memory limitation…
Anyway, it’s quite cool especially as you can also upload some geotagged picture to Flickr from J2memap…
