WWDC on your iPhone!

If you’re going to be at WWDC — and hey, even if you’re not, there’s other stuff there too — you should be aware of www.iviewr.com, which “provides a unique service to users of Apple’s mobile devices. Users can view handy snapshots of popular destinations and events around the globe.” In this case, it’s WWDC!

iPhone and iPod touch-wielding visitors to next week’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco can enhance their visit to the show with a handy guide made available by iViewr.com.

A website for iPeople who are going places, www.iViewr.com has introduced its latest event guide aimed at the legion of developers making the pilgrimage to the conference.

Completely free to access, this handy ‘Pod SnapShot’ has the look and feel of a native iPhone application and provides details of all aspects of the show – from Conference Schedules, Lab and Session details, Travel directions, Disabled access, Moscone Center facilities, after hours events and more.

“Like the previous event guides we’ve made available, iViewr provides visitors to the Conference with all of the important information especially formatted for display on their iPhones or iPods” said Rod Cambridge, founder of iViewr. “If you have one of these devices, there’s simply no more need to be carrying around a jumble of papers, map and leaflets when a guide like ours is available.”

Well, hard to argue with that; my Springboarded bookmark of their site has certainly replaced the 2-per-day printouts that I made last year to try and keep track of sessions. An excellent service, and probably worth checking out whatever else is there as well.
