Welcome to another Location tech news roundup. Well Apple has done it again and is now honing in on the mini market with the release of the 7" iPad mini... will it be on your holiday shopping list?
Good news for developers as this is yet another device that will wind up in the hands of users and bolster the massive tablet market - think opportunity! Moving forward, Leica has a sweet new tablet computer in the CS25, a nice addition to the Leica Zeno GIS family - think high accuracy data collection with GNSS. On to mobile as we hear about a new Code Enforcement Management solution from EnerGov - Think "on the go" enforcement process that tightly integrates Esri's latest ArcGIS Online capabilities. Finally, I received a tip off about a cool Geo solution for iPad - Integrity GIS on iOS from Midland GIS Solutions. Best of all there's also a free, trial download app in the iTunes store so you can test drive it for yourself! There's no question that video is king on the web these days... just have a quick look around and it will quickly jump out at you. Complementing your marketing, web, and social efforts with video can pay off huge dividends, particularly in such a visual industry. There's loads of helpful tools out there, like this guide on Web Video Production and Marketing and resources like hubspot and hootsuite are packed with great tips and educational offerings - be sure to check them out! Oh, speaking of videos, we have a nice, growing gallery of videos showing off cool mobile technology HERE - if you have a video of interest ping us with a link or send a tweet to @gletham. Have a great week everyone and if you happen to be a consultant looking for new revenue streams consider turning some of your awesome maps into revenue via the Avenza Map Store by becoming a store vendor - think iTunes for maps!
