In February Mobilizy won the grand price of the Navteq Challenge 2010 with Wikitude Drive. Only 2 w
eeks later Mobilizy announces the availability of the Wikitude 4 mobile AR browser on Symbian devices (3rd and 5th edition). This is a big step forward for Mobilizy as we extend the support for mobile AR to a huge number of potential new users. Android phones and iPhones are very popular, but the majority of end-users still have phones running other operating systems. The application is developed in Qt and therefore can be installed on many compatible Symbian devices (and in the future on Maemo devices). With this new release Wikitude 4 becomes the mobile AR browser that can be used by most potential users in the world.
Development and testing of the application has been finished 2 weeks ago. We only face small issues with the Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian which is required to deploy Qt applications in the OVI store. We expect the application in the Ovi store within the next days.
