Veriplace at Microsoft's Mobile Incubation Week

We're in D.C. this week, taking part in Microsoft's Mobile Incubation Week. It's a great opportunity to pepper Microsoft engineers with questions, while showing off how easy it is for developers to location-enable their applications with our network-based APIs.

Beneath the hood, the Veriplace Location Platform has to use different techniques to locate different types of phones. Locating a Windows Mobile phone differs from locating a BlackBerry, which in turn differs from locating an entry-level Sprint feature phone. There are as many subtle details as there are OS versions, manufacturers, and carriers.

The Veriplace Location Platform simplifies this for you, the developer. By writing to the Veriplace API, you let us worry about the type of phone your user has and how to locate them. Furthermore, as indicated by our presence in D.C. this week, you can write to our API knowing that we're always out there keeping up with the latest developments in location technologies and phone operating systems. Our continuing mission is to be the location experts.

If you happen to be a developer in the D.C. area, drop us a line!
