Who's doing stuff with Mobile Devices?
...
- iPhone app development is a bit locked down; various distribution methods but this can be the complex part
- Indiana University has a mobility committee (as part of their strategic planning). Research is being done on effort to develop apps. They are looking at developing for a variety of devices. Trying 'classified' app as both a native app as well as web app.
- Cornell has advanced technology group that has been looking at this and developing some applications. (e.g.

Support
- No one reported having a dedicated team for supporting mobile devices
- While we will always be behind in our support, we at least want to 'be in the game'
- It will be important to track penetration and use of mobile devices
GPS
- RPI has thought about using GPS for helping locate campus resources
- One university reports using GPS to track locations of campus shuttles
- GPS and Campus Map would help answer the "where am I?" question
Future
- Enabling payments
- ticketing gate for mobile devices
- 'check in' during emergencies (Maybe Berkley or Stanford may have done something)
- Access to restricted areas
- 2nd factor authentication (service calls phone, reply with '#' key)
