Tele Atlas, a leading global geographic content provider, today announced a partnership with Symbian to generate joint support actions for application developers using Tele Atlas data with the Symbian OS.
In creating these developer tools Tele Atlas will bring content and experience with geo-data and location based services (LBS), while Symbian will bring operating system expertise. Support begins with a series of training materials for developers of LBS applications, including application-specific white papers and webinars on the use of Tele Atlas data in Symbian OS applications. Case studies of successful LBS developments for smartphones will provide further information and help. Where appropriate, Tele Atlas partners will be invited to demonstrate successful developments. Additional tools will follow as Tele Atlas and Symbian expand this dynamic support program.
Tele Atlas has another new initiative to stimulate implementation of successful application developments – a series of special events named The Tele Atlas Innovator Series. To begin, finalists selected from members of the Tele Atlas DeveloperLink community are being offered an opportunity to meet with Dow Jones editors and venture capitalists that wish to invest in LBS applications. This will take place at Dow Jones VentureWire’s Wireless Ventures conference in San Francisco, April 2007.
The Tele Atlas DeveloperLink program gives Internet, mobile and other next-generation application developers access to sample data and application development tools that can help bring innovative concepts to reality. DeveloperLink was designed to make it easy for application developers to establish a business relationship with Tele Atlas – the leading provider of rich, fresh, accurate data that powers the world’s most essential geographic solutions.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
