Is your website mobile phone accessible? (2010, iphones & GPS)
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
The other day I was meeting a business colleague at a Starbucks in downtown Vancouver (We’ll call her Suzy). Suzy specified the meeting location and when I got to our meeting spot (10 minutes early, of course!) Suzy was no where to be found and there wasn’t a Starbucks in site! So, what did I do?
I yanked my iphone from my bag and:
1. Used Google maps to find the closest Starbucks according to my locations. Then I utilized the GPS function to plan a route to the Starbucks.
2. Since Suzy isn’t a regular client, I didn’t have her phone number in my iphone. I used Safari on my iphone to find her company’s website and then located the contact page. I called her office and got her cell phone number from the receptionist.
