Greetings!

If you saw our blog last week, you may have seen that we’ve launched our newest application, Jungle! (Available to download here on the Apple App Store)

As Jungle! is brand-spankin’ new, I thought it might be a good idea to address some of the questions we’ve been receiving about it. And of course, hopefully I’m able to answer all of your questions here but if not, please feel free to ask it in the comments section below!

WHAT IS JUNGLE!?

Geared toward college students, Jungle! is a brand new free application that acts as a community marketplace right on your iPhone or iPod Touch. From your phone, you can buy, sell, and put in requests for items services, and housing within your area.

HOW DOES JUNGLE! WORK?

Jungle! lets students create and search posts in a community marketplace with other nearby students. Jungle! differs from many other classified ads because students can post a product or service and tag the posting with their location.  Jungle! maps the approximate location and shows users search results within their area, making searches more relevant to you, your activities and your life.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH JUNGLE!?

With Jungle! you can:

  • Buy/Sell products
  • Find/List housing
  • Offer/Request services
  • Integrated International Standard Book Number (ISBN) Textbook Search
  • Local Classified Searches
  • Facebook Integration

Wait – JUNGLE! USES MY LOCATION?

Yup, Jungle! uses your location to help to connect you with the world around you. We think it’s useful because Jungle! presents information to you based on relevance and distance.

WHAT KIND OF PRIVACY SETTINGS ARE THERE?

You don’t have to worry about sharing your exact location or other personal information because others can only see your general location, which is set as a default to a half mile radius. Additionally, Jungle! only displays usernames and profiles instead of phone numbers and email addresses. So how would another user contact you? Jungle! has a built in direct messaging feature so users can exchange information on products and services.

WHAT DEVICES IS JUNGLE! AVAILABLE ON?

The iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch.

WHEN IS JUNGLE! AVAILABLE?

Jungle! is available to download right now on the Apple App Store!

OTHER INFORMATION

Jungle is currently being piloted at several colleges including University of California Berkeley, San Jose State University, San Francisco State University, and Stanford University.

Video Demo: AT&T Navigator (Powered by TeleNav) on the Pantech Reveal

AT&T and Pantech launched a new device this week, the Pantech Reveal, which is Pantech’s first “single-slider” phone. Overall, the phone has a nice feel to it and the inclusion of two key pads, the number pad when the slider is closed and the full keyboard when it’s open, makes it very handy to use. You can quickly dial a number with the slider closed and easily slide out the keyboard for messaging purposes. But perhaps the best feature in our humble opinion is that the phone comes preloaded with AT&T Navigator (powered by TeleNav).

We decided to take the Pantech Reveal out for a little spin and test some of the features included in AT&T Navigator on the phone. And because sharing is caring, we thought we’d bring along a video camera to show you the application in action. As you can see, it was very easy for me to find the destination I wanted to drive to and head out on my way. Some of the features you’ll see in the video include onscreen and voice turn-by-turn directions, text-to-speech (i.e. turn right on Kifer Road, not just turn right), real-time traffic alerts and the ease in which the POI database can be used to find a location.

Enjoy the video and if you picked up a Reveal or are planning to, let us know what you think of AT&T Navigator on the phone.
