With the evolution of the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch as serious mobile computing platforms and anticipating the release of the Apple iPad, we have developed a proof-of-concept prototype of Specify for Apple devices. The most obvious usage of these platforms would be for field or remote data entry taking advantage of built-in GPS, wireless and cellular data connectivity. Extended usage scenarios could easily include real-time interactions with Specify data repositories, messaging and alert notifications.
