nru gets more oomph on the latest iphone

July 3rd, 2009

nru gets a little more oomph on the new iphone 3GS which has a compass, like the Android phones, and the ability to get our labs team very, very excited…

Our Marko from the labs team told me how it all came together.

‘We immediately put a stop to various other projects and started work to create our award-winning nru application for the iPhone. And now, just over 2 weeks later, it’s about done, and looks pretty cool, even though we say so ourselves. Especially considering this has been the first real iPhone app created by our developer Sam.’ Well done to you Sam too!

Check it out on the video here.

You use it by moving the whole phone around your body or rotating it, to see what’s in different directions. The screen will show pink spots which are tagged with the name and type of location, so you get to know what’s around you and you can choose what you like the sound of best.

You can find nearby restaurants (from fonefood) as well as bars, bowling alleys, cafes, cinemas, clubs, comedy clubs, music venues, pubs, snooker & pool clubs and stations (all from our partner Qype).
