Connect with her on Twitter at @researchgoddess. As conference season is upon us (including SXSW, of course), I began thinking about all the things one might need to survive and stay connected with a busy schedule of travel and networking.

Then I remembered that I’m the proud owner of an iPhone, and that almost everything I’ll need to make it through is easily accessible and at the tip of my fingers. Here are some of the apps which I believe will help you navigate, stay connected, and meet new friends when you attend a conference. If you’re the ultimate procrastinator and you haven’t yet booked a hotel, Read More

Well, just as the iTablet won't be the Knowledge Navigator, the new buzz-phrase of the year, augmented reality, won't give me Terminator eyes. Such is life. I tested out a pretty decent augmented reality app called Robotvision [iTunes Link], and for US $0.99 what you get, if you have an iPhone 3GS running OS 3.1 or better, is quite cool. Will it solve your problems, cure the common cold, or tell you anything that more established apps won't? Not really. But tossing a buck on a neat novelty is not unheard of in the iPhone 3GS world. This one does more than most. First you tell it how widely Read More

Basterà selezionare la categoria tra pub, ristoranti, hotel e quant’altro e semplicemente muovendo l’iPhone scopriremo la distanza e la direzione che dobbiamo seguire per arrivare a destinazione. Robotvision si basa su Bling, il motore di ricerca di Microsoft che integra le recensioni di Yelp e Citysearch. Funziona quindi prettamente in USA ma bisogna ammettere che l’applicazione affascina molto anche noi. Integra anche alcuni servizi di Flickr e Twitter per cui è possibile visualizzare le foto, sfogliarle o capire la posizione degli amici che “cinguettano” sul famoso social network.
