Android and 11870.com
by - June 12, 2008
Excuse Moi, developed by Miguel Hernandez, is the first mashup to use 11870.com’s API with Google’s Android platform for mobile phones. The results can be seen in this video:
Using 11870.com’s API and the phone’s geolocation API, Excuse Moi can find places and services near the device in real time (including Google Maps paraphernalia, directions, etc). It’s also possible to personalize searches for a certain area: shops, restaurants, mechanics…
The application also allows a user to view everything 11870.com has on the businesses (reviews, pictures and so on). It also allows you to call the telephone number listed for a service on 11870.com and to locate the place on a map together with your own location.
We’re very pleased to see people using our API for interesting projects and look forward to see many more in the future.
