The last few months have seen Glympse used by a number of companies including BMW and MINI, Ford, Garmin and Mercedes-Benz.

Bryan Trussel, co-founder and CEO of Glympse, said “There are innumerable industries and businesses that stand to benefit from our technology - with this platform, we’ve made adding location sharing to an app or service incredibly easy. Based on the response of our current partners and strong interest from the broader developer community, we were encouraged to develop a publicly available platform that would enable anyone to add location technology with just a few lines of code. Android and iOS developers can add Glympse functionality and be up in running in a matter of minutes. We are excited to see how developers use Glympse technology within their applications.”

So when it takes days for your phone to be repaired, it has a considerable impact on your normal daily life.

ExclusiveHow ring-back tones could transform the way we use our mobile phones

Mark Bridge writes:

Ring-back tones offer consumers yet another way to customise their mobile phone service. Yet despite this – and the revenue opportunities they provide – many mobile network operators don’t offer them.

Recently I spoke to Florent Stroppa, General Manager Europe for value-added service specialist OnMobile, to find out why the UK doesn’t really seem to be bothered about ring-back tones… and whether the next-generation of ring-back services will change this.

Talk about a difference. In preliminary results last week, HTC announced its first-ever quarterly loss while Samsung revealed record quarterly profits.
