Here is some video footage of the new HTC Desire Z with a slide-out keyboard.  Looks like it could be the ideal unit for surveyors using Tracker Mobile.

AccredIT quality inspection

Kim spent most of yesterday with our AccredIT assessor for our 12-monthly check-up to see if our processes and procedures still meet the demanding AccredIT regime.

We were one of the first software development companies to reach the AccredIT standard and we work hard to keep ourselves at the top of our game to keep our registration (and our ISO 9001 certificate).

Our accreditation relates to software design and development, and you can read more about the standard here: http://www.accredituk.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=134&Itemid=74.

We had a positive feedback session at the end of the day and look forward to receiving some good news about our AccredIT accreditation shortly!

New Android handsets launched by HTC

Android "Mobile Data" almost ready

We've been busy testing the new Android version of "Mobile Data" (formally known as Pocket PC Creations) which is looking great.

We're testing on an HTC Legend but we also have users with HTC Desire devices and the fabulous new Android tablets.

It does look like Windows Mobile 6 is going to stop production soon (at least for consumer-style phones) and the new Windows Phone 7 Series isn't backwards compatible, so Android devices are going to be the way forward for our customers using pocket sized units to collect data on site and transmit back to servers remotely.

If you are about to buy new pocket PCs/phones for data collection please do speak to us first - it may be that we can advise you to choose new Android devices for improved productivity and a better all-round experience for your users.
