AKL Transit

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I was going to send a tweet instead of posting here but 140 characters would not have been enough…

The Auckland Transit iPhone and iPod Touch application has been in the app store for a few weeks now and it’s already providing me with some very interesting statistics.

Unlike Wellington, most of the iPhone users are NOT using a 3GS model but 3G rather. The number of jailbroken devices is 4 times the one in Wellington and, more interestingly, whilst in Wellington the peak is Mondays or Fridays in Auckland it seems to be Saturday instead.

Monitoring user behaviour between Wellington and Auckland will be an interesting exercise, especially since the Auckland user numbers are growing so rapidly.

GiveOrTake is my IOU Manager

Have you borrowed something and you forgot who from?
Have you ever lent an item to someone and then you couldn’t remember who it was?
Do you forget to return books, rented movies or other things?
Do you find it hard to keep track of all your IOU ‘s?

GiveOrTake will help you keep track of all these: you can use your address book and you can rely on the application to show you when an item is due. These are just a few of the features that are available in this initial release and it is up to you to request more that you’d like to see in the next version.

Features:
- integration with your Address Book to pick a contact or simply type a nickname
- use a simple but useful datepicker to select the return date
- use a predefined category (rename or even duplicate them) or create a new one
- remove the categories or the items when you no longer need them
- badges on both categories and the application itself when an item is due to be returned
- category color changes when it contains due items
