iPhone GIS

I was browsing around the ArcGIS Resource Center earlier today and came across the ArcGIS for iPhone site at ESRI.

I was a little in shocked actually but was happy to see that ESRI is finally showing the iPhone some GIS attention. Perhaps it was brought on by the iGIS iPhone app from Geometry who knows either way we won’t get our hands on it until summer since the ESRI iPhone app is still in development unless you are using the SDK. There are some interesting videos here. It will be interesting to see how things rolls out in the summer… This would make more sense to me via an iPad for the extra screen real-estate but if the user interface is similar to iGIS (this is available now for $19.99) it would be nice esp. given that the ESRI app and SDK is free.
