Mobilizy, which I’m not going to even attempt to pronounce, is the Australian based startup responsible for Wikitude, arguably the first augmented reality application to ever grace smartphones. Today they’re launching something that finally makes augmented reality, which most mobile fanbois seem to think is going to be the next holy grail, and actually make it useful by using it as a navigation system for your automobile. It’s called Wikitude Drive.

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you!
Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

Mobilizy is Austrian not Australian. (Cows, not Kangaroos! )
The app looks great. I’m looking forward to use it.
