I woke up this morning to this story on Wisconsin Public Radio about how we seem to be driving less in Wisconsin these days (which is awesome IMHO). It got even better on a personal level when one of the reasons given for this trend was from Madison Metro Transit saying that ridership numbers continue to go up due to mobile apps like Mobile UW helping take "a lot of the apprehension out of riding the bus." Yay!
Thanks again to Jimmy Daly and Tara Buck at EdTech Magazine for hosting today's interview as well as my UW-Madison colleagues Nick Weaver, Dave Schroeder, John Lucas, Katie Krueger, and Brian Rust. I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to talk about our work on Mobile UW and mobile technology in general with everyone.

Mobile UW 1.5 Released!
Last night we released the latest version of Mobile UW. The new features include native integration with the MyUW campus portal's mobile Web site as well as the UW Library mobile Web site. Native iPhone 5 support was also added so the app can make use of all the new screen space available in the iPhone 5.
As always, Mobile UW is a free update or original install (seriously you don't have it already?). It offers native support for iPhone (standard and Retina Display), iPhone 5, iPad (standard and Retina Display), iPad mini, and iPod Touch. For Android it supports MDPI, HDPI, and XHDPI for Normal Screens so that it'll offer a great experience on many current phones including the Samsung Galaxy S3, Droid Incredible, and Google Nexus. It also offers native support for many favorite tablets too including the Google Nexus 7, Amazon Kindle Fire, and Motorola XOOM2.
